The press release can be found here: http://vvww.microsoft.com/en-us/news/press/2013/aug13/08- 23AnnouncementPR.aspx Microsoft is handling the PR/communications for this and we are not commenting. Although Bill will remain involved in the search process and with the company, his role with the Foundation and bgC3 is not changing. The Foundation will confirm this on the record if necessary. Please do let me know if you have any questions. Thank you. — Larry EFTA_R1_00438579 EFTA01962929
