--------------------------- Brian Swinford 11/27/2000 09:42 PM To: Rob G Gay/NA/Enron@Enron cc: Subject: BRS Accomplishments - 2000 Rob, listed below are my key accomplishments for 2000: 1) TGS: -Key member of TGS Finance Committee; attended quarterly meetings, participated in major financing decisions and made recommendations to TGS and/or ESA management. -During 2000, assisted TGS finance staff in refinancing $300MM of non-recourse debt in two separate transactions; a 3 year $150MM bank FRN, and a 3 year $150MM Eurobond issue. Role included helping evaluate lead arranger proposals and term sheets, selecting lead arrangers and participants and participating in road shows representing Enron sponsorship. Successfully raised $300MM during a very challenging time in Argentina as well as a very difficult time for the U.S. capital markets (i.e., Eurobond completed immediately following the largest single drop in history of the NASDAQ). 2) TRANSREDES: a) $10MM Liquidity Facility: Lead approval and documentation effort for $10MM Enron-provided credit facility to provide liquidity for oil spill clean up expenditures and Cuiaba construction cash calls. Prepared DASH, managed approval process wtih RAC and TRSA management, and lead documentation to closure. Loan was successfully repaid with proceeds from the Cuiaba buy-out transaction. Credit facility allowed TRSA to avoid a severe liquidity crisis which could have stopped the clean up process and put its concession from the Bolivian government at risk. b) Buy-out of TRSA's interests in the Cuiaba Project: Selected for lead role in Enron's buy out of 50% of TRSA's interest in the Cuiaba Project for $40MM (Enron's share). Prepared DASH and ESA risk committee and Enron Corp. board presentations, worked with RAC to obtain approval for transaction and coordinated legal documentation process with counsel (internal and external) and partners (Shell as co-buyer, TRSA as seller). Buy-out transaction restored much needed liquidity to TRSA's balance sheet and permitted Enron and Shell to move ahead on the Cuiaba financing without having to guarantee TRSA's pro-rata share of contingent sponsor support required by the Cuiaba lenders. Restored liquidity to TRSA will permit it to meet its working capital needs until May 2001 when its new tariffs become effective (post Transition period). c) Cuiaba Contingent Sponsor Support: In coordination with TRSA/Cuiaba buy-out effort, assisted Cuiaba team in obtaining approval of contingent sponsor support for OPIC/KfW financing. Prepared DASH and worked with RAC to obtain internal approval and assisted in preparing ESA risk committee and Enron Corp. board presentations. Contingent support package along with buy-out transaction was approved by Enron's board. c) Financial Advisory Assignment: Selected by TRSA and ESA management to work with TRSA in a financial advisory capacity, to advise and assist in the arrangement of up to $700MM in new third party debt over the next 4 years to finance TRSA capital expansion program. In exchange for such services ESA began receiving a $12,500/month retainer fee (October 2000 - May 2001 = $100,000 of fee income) plus the reimbursement of all out-of-pocket expenses. Roadshow with U.S. Exim, Bolivian pension funds, local banks and international banks with local presence and CAF now completed. Assisting TRSA management with resolution of Supreme Decree and Tariff Reset and existing debt seniority issue. GTB: a) Financial Advisory Assignment: Selected by GTB and ESA management to work with GTB in a financial advisory capacity, to advise and assist in the arrangement of up to $210MM in new third party debt over the next 4 years to finance GTB's capital expansion program. In exchange for such services, ESA began receiving a $12,500/month retainer fee (October 2000 - May 2001 = $100,000 of fee income) plus the reimbursement of all out-of-pocket expenses. Roadshow with U.S. Exim, Bolivian pension funds, local banks and international banks with local presence and CAF now completed. Letter of Interest obtained from U.S. Exim.
