Subject: Oakland A's Rent Payment

All:
We have received word from Councilmember Kaplan that many of you were told by some unnamed source that Lew
Wolff had instructed me to withhold our upcoming rent payment due this Monday, June 30th. That is completely untrue
in every aspect. I assure you that we will be paying the full amount of rent due, $1,750,000, to the JPA on Monday.
There is also a provision in the draft lease agreement that conditions its effectiveness on our paying that full amount.
We are not sure where this concern came from but I am deeply disturbed by the continued misinformation that appears
to surround the lease negotiations.
I do apologize for any confusion or frustration it has caused. If you have any questions, please contact me at your
convenience.
Michael
