| Struggling voice and data carrier Global Crossing Ltd. said in a court filing Tuesday that it will take an $8 billion goodwill
write-down in the fourth quarter to reflect the drop of the value of intangible assets like reputation. The bankrupt telecom also warned that it will take a future
multi-billion dollar write-off of tangible assets, like its underutilized network, but did not say when.

The company also sought the bankruptcy court's approval of a new employment agreement for Chief Executive Officer John J. Legere.
The agreement would cut Legere's salary to $770,000 (a 30 percent drop) during the restructuring. However, the agreement also
stipulates an annual bonus equal to 125 percent of his base salary if he meets certain performance goals.

The New York Times Wednesday reported that the identities of more than 50 companies that had expressed
confidential interest in acquiring Global Crossing were revealed in an e-mail message from the telecom's attorneys.

only included information on bidding procedures, the e-mail copied the e-mail addresses of more than 50 recipients at the top of the
message.
Among the recipients were international telecoms like Verizon Communications, the BT Group, Deutsche Telekom, Telefónica of
