[Lnc-business] EMAIL BALLOT 190331-1 Approve ED

Mon Apr 1 11:14:12 EDT 2019

Initial review with suggestions (but no disapprovals) was complete on
March 25. After counsel incorporated the majority of suggestions from
the EPCC, they were sent a revised version yesterday, March 31.

In any event, the contract is contingent on LNC approval and
contemplates a start date of April 15, 2019, which ensures that 10
days will elapse even from the later date.
