Question and Answers Part Two

PBGC anticipates issuing Part Three on or about Monday, February 2, 2015.

22. When will a decision be made on awarding this RFP to a winning contractor?

PBGC anticipates making an award in the second quarter of 2015.

23. Will there be an opportunity to see the detail of the underlying partnership data in terms of names of partnerships, size of remaining value, and characteristics of the underlying portfolio companies after submitting a bid on Feb 2 if the bidder is selected as the desired

Contractor but before agreeing to take on the actual work?

PBGC will only provide the details on the underlying private equity partnerships to the successful Offeror subsequent to executing the contract. The RFP provides the number of current partnerships as well as net asset value in aggregate and it is not expected to be materially different at the time of award.

24. Will confidential/trade secret information that is provided in the proposal be held in confidence or subject to public disclosure? Can you please detail any requirements to ensure that confidential or trade secret information is not made public?

Exemption 4 of the FOIA protects “trade secrets and commercial or financial information obtained from a person that is privileged or confidential.”

25. Please provide details of the investment holdings by portfolio (PBGC-Only, Trust One and Trust Two), including fund name, commitment, VY contributed, distributed and any other available information.

PBGC will only provide information on specific holdings to the Successful Offeror subsequent to the execution of the contract. Please refer to the RFP and answers to the series of questions from other prospective offerors for summary information.

26. Do you need additional acknowledgement of this amendment other than this email? (it seems unclear on section 11 of the first page whether you needed us as a potential bidder who has not yet submitted a bid whether we needed to formally send you some sort of acknowledgement.)

Pursuant to Block 11 of Amendment No. 1, Offerors are required to complete

Blocks 8-15 of the Amendment and return it with your proposal.
