Heading: SBC Management’s Statements

Text: The statements of SBC management, before the CCI Agreement was signed, also support the plaintiffs’ interpretation of the contract’s terms. While Anton and Snipes were closing the CCI contract, various members of SBC management implied that Anton and Snipes would be due for a large commission. For example, Snipes’ manager suggested that the contract was worth $200 million to $1 billion. Similar estimates were sent out in internal SBC emails. Likewise, SBC management made comments about the large commissions the plaintiffs were going to get from the CCI Agreement and how “rich” they would be. These statements did not put the plaintiffs on notice that they were going to receive only $12,000 and $24,000, respectively, for a billion dollar contract. Ultimately, these statements further support the conclusion that the jury reached a reasonable verdict.
