| From: “Nancy L. Hines” <[email protected]> Date: August 11, 2020 at 5:06:00 PM EDT To: [email protected], [email protected] Subject: Re: Taylor Made Hello Max, Jorge, I believe they have been in talks with Tobias, Falisa believes that conversations were conflicting with the good relationship they once had between equal partner and MGM. Nonetheless, I suggest for MGM to listen to her and her lawyer and help the small business of theirs, as mediator perhaps, and end a lawsuit that it seems that started a year ago. I don’t think Tobias might have included you, Max, on those conversations, otherwise this would have ended a year ago. I still believe that the heart core and essence of MGM assisting small businesses like theirs, is still the main goal, now more important than ever. A pandemic like this, is bringing us all into one single platform, with no distinctions. So, please arrange a call with Falisa and her lawyer, as they have sent a note to Max and counsel this past Monday. Falisa is a government employee with an extensive network, not only in Maryland but also in D.C. Please mediate with both equal partners and perhaps bring an end to this costly lawsuit of theirs. Thank you both, Nancy Hines ReplyReply AllForward |

Good morning Max, Jorge: Last Tuesday, Falisa Peoples called to tell me that she didn’t receive the support she was hoping on Monday’s call. Instead, MGM counsel made her feel that MGM wasn’t going to meddle into the ongoing discrepancies between her and her equal partner. No one from operations was at that meeting, why using only legal representation if counsel wasn’t even a witness to the tremendous amount of effort it took to get MBEs on board back in 2015. I was hoping for a sense of empathy towards small businesses like hers with limited resources to continue their legal battle. Nonetheless, Falisa will continue with her pursue for fairness treatment and possibly call me as a witness, to testify in D.C. It is sad to hear that with all the legal resources MGM has, we couldn’t find the time to call both partners and assist them to resolve and honor their agreement. If you find time to speak with Falisa, her lawyer and possibly their partner on master agreement, together, please do so. In the middle of my already hectic work schedule and school, I have now to make arrangements to considering traveling to D.C. I really hope you make this right, and find a suitable and workable agreement for all parties affected. They don’t want to lose business with MGM, specially during these difficult times, but also, they look for respect, fair treatment and acceptance as a minority vendor they’re.
Thank you both,
Nancy Hines
