               THIRD UNC-DUKE CORPORATE FINANCE CONFERENCE

                      Chapel Hill, North Carolina,
                    October 31 and November 1, 2008


      The University of North Carolina and Duke University are
      organizing a Corporate Finance Conference designed to bring
      together leading scholars in the field. The symposium will
      be held in Chapel Hill on Friday afternoon, October 31 and
      Saturday, November 1, 2008. The conference, which will
      feature a keynote address by Professor Jeremy Stein of
      Harvard University, is jointly sponsored by Duke
      University's Fuqua School of Business and the University of
      North Carolina's Kenan-Flagler Business School and Wachovia
      Center for Corporate Finance. Papers in all areas of
      corporate finance are invited.


      PAPER SELECTION PROCESS:

      Papers should be well developed, but at a stage where they
      can still benefit from the group's discussion. Preference
      will be given to recent papers that have not previously
      been presented at major conferences.


      SELECTION COMMITTEE:

      Papers will be selected by the finance faculty at UNC and
      Duke in conjunction with an external program advisory
      committee consisting of:

      Franklin Allen, Wharton School
      Malcolm Baker, Harvard University
      Milton Harris, University of Chicago
      Michael Lemmon, University of Utah
      Antoinette Schoar, M.I.T.


      PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:

      Please submit an electronic version of the paper (MS Word
      or PDF format) no later than July 15, 2008 through the
      conference web page:
