608 Notes to Chapter 16
81. Contrary to what is stated in the board minutes (Special Meeting of Bear Stearns Board of Direc-
tors, March 16, 2008, p. 5), when FCIC staff interviewed Schwartz he said that the $2 a share price came
from JP Morgan, not Paulson. Schwartz also told staff that because Bear did not receive “a lot of compet-
ing offers,” it had to accept JP Morgan’s offer of $2 a share.
