R -- SECURITIES LIQUIDATION SERVICES POC Contact Contract Specialist, Marilyn Silverman, 202/326-4160 X- 3322/ Contracting Officer, Robert W. Herting, 202/326-4160 The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) intends to award a sole source contract to a Special Situations Money Manager to continue to implement the terms of an agreement to liquidate a significant equity position held as a trusteed pension plan asset. The manager's responsibilities will consist primarily of continuing negotiations with the issuing Company to assure, to the maximum extent possible, that the terms of that agreement are concluded successfully. This effort is a continuation of work that this source has initiated and therefore, is uniquely qualified to complete the implementation phase of this effort. It should be noted that the interests of the PBGC will be substantially impaired by changing managers at this time. The duration of this extension will probably be for not longer than one (1) year. See Note 22 (0307)
