In early 2003, the decision was made to integrate the operations of Trading into AIGFP. (p9)
In March or April of 2003, Feilbogen traveled to London to meet with Joe Cassano, the Chief Executive Officer of AIGFP, to discuss the integration of Trading into AIGFP
On July 9, 2003, Cassano sent a letter to Feilbogen, stating as follows:
[a]s we have previously advised you, we have discussed your position with John Finigan, among others, and it is clear that, contrary to the assertions in your e-mail, you were not given a 2003 guarantee. This conclusion is of course consistent with Trading Group’s Policy Manual, by which you agreed in writing to be bound. The Policy Manual clearly states that, absent a written contract to the contrary, no employee has any entitlement to a bonus until it is actually received. (p11)
On April 28, 1997, Feilbogen signed an Acknowledgment of Compliance with Policy Manual, after being provided with an opportunity to read it. (p12)
