The Birth of JEDI, an SPE or…. Enron’s End run
Must Enron include SPEs on its balance sheet? • Not if……. • not in control of SPE and • outsiders invest & have at risk at least 3% of total capital……… • Why does Enron not want to consolidate?
1993 CALPERS ENRON $250 Mil JEDI Enron Stock
1997 • CALPERSwants to cash out of JEDI. • Enron must figure out a way to redeem the CALPERSinvestment. They create Chewco to buy out CALPERS.
ENRON CALPERS $383 Mil CHEWCO JEDI This is the plan….
CHEWCO Needs $383 millionto give CALPERS…… It gets….. $240 mil loan from Barclay’s bank Guaranteed by Enron $132 mil credit from JEDI (only asset is Enron stock) Must get 3% from outside sources to avoid consolidation.
CHEWCO Capital Structure Outside 3% $115,000 from M.Kopper (worked at time for Enron) $11.4 mil loans from Big and Little River (two new LLCs formed for this purpose who get a loan from Barclay’s Bank)
CHEWCO Capital Structure Outside 3% CHEWCO $.115 m Big River $11.4 mil. Kopper Little River
In the following slide… a solid line is actual cash transfer. All dollars are in millions. A dashed line is a loan.

What causes trouble for Enron? • Barclay’s Bank begins to doubt the strength of the new LLCs – Big River and Little River- and requires a CASH reserve to be deposited (as security) for the $11.4 million dollar loans. This Cash Reserve is paid byJEDI, which by this time consists solely of Enron stock, putting Enron in the at risk position for this amount. • (See red arrow on the next slide.)
