To: Mark LLOYD From: Jeffrey Epstei Sent: Tue 5/15/2012 10:50:54 AM Subject: Re: difficult to assess. the brand is great .. the french labor , regulation, lease. issues arc complex. On Tuc, May 15, 2012 at 12:00 PM, Mark LLOYD rote: Jeffrey, Do you think D. Porthault is worth pursuing? If so, would you consider backing me? We would need to submit a business plan to the French Judge at the Bankruptcy court by May 24th which does not give us much time. Clearly we would need to find a really could CEO and CFO and develop a marketing strategy. I really think this is a jewel that has lost its lustre and with a bit of polishing could regain its brand stature on the global map in a relatively short period of time. The exit would be in 3-5 years when it might be sold to Chanel, Richemont or LVMH. Just let me know either way ASAP, so I can pursue other avenues if its not of any interest to you. As ever, Mark *********************************************************** The information contained in this communication is confidential, may be attorney-client privileged, may constitute inside information, and is intended only for the use of the addressee.
