Dear B-2 Shareholder:
I am writing in support of Patrick Lynch's candidacy for the B-2
(IMM division) of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange's Board of Directors. As
a liquidity provider in the Eurodollar quadrant, I have developed a strong
respect for Pat's leadership. I am consistently impressed by his fair and
honest interactions with all members of our trading community. As a
Director, Pat demonstrates the ability to listen, ask diligent questions
and respond accordingly to exchange members. Perhaps most striking is his
consistency in advocating and promoting the right decision, regardless of
the popular opinion. Without fail, Pat places the interests of the entire
exchange membership ahead of any one individual or group. This unparalleled
integrity drives my support of Pat as the clear candidate to help all of us
achieve success as our exchange continues its transformation.
As you well know, the exchange is experiencing significant change.
As this evolution continues, we need to have insightful leadership to
remain competitive. I am confident Pat will continue to be an integral and
effective part of this leadership, enabling us, as members, to realize the
benefits of opportunities to come.
Moreover, Pat understands the strengths of our exchange, including
its most prominent attribute: the ability to continuously provide
liquidity. Pat has proven his ability to balance the difficult task of both
protecting our current franchise and developing new ideas to enhance our
strengths. Given his record, I am confident Pat will continue to represent
all of our interests in a manner cognizant of the dynamics of the times.
I am support Patrick Lynch as a candidate for the B-2 (IMM
division) of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange's Board of Directors, and I
encourage you to do so as well.
Sincerely,
