When you are meeting with the Stelco doctor, you can ask for the conversation to be just between you and Dr. Walter. Something that you want confidential will then stay that way.

RUMOUR OF THE WEEK...

      "The retirees only received $690. PSP because they hit their max." This is not true. Just because the actives max out their quarterly payment doesn't mean the retirees do. The active's receive 80% of the profit sharing, and the retiree's receive 20%. The past PSP was calculated as such.

Stelco EBITA Fourth Quarter $71.8 million -$25 million contract language = $46.8 million x by 6.6% for all actives and retirees = $3 million x 80% for actives 2.4 million, retirees $600 000. $2.4 million/1100(est.) actives = $2100. Retirees $600 000/860 (est.) =$690.

We came no where close to our annual PSP trigger of $1 billion.

Thanks,
