"V.________, if [H.________ AG Europe] would layoff some employees from the Europe trading department (in order to increase the company profitability, so not because of any fault or performance of the employees themselves), is the Group: 1) willing to pay the Group severance payment (one month per year of employment), and 2) willing to vest whatever participation plan the employee is in (SIP, ROI or shares)? How would you want to pursue with these two items? Thank you A.________"
