Historically, this was about the relationship between the institute and the company. Obviously, the institute was one of the shareholders. I believe what happened, from memory, is that a confidentiality agreement was reached between the shareholders and the institute that there would not be any disclosure. Perhaps it was with the company. Again, that raises concerns around the transparency of these processes when it is an institute of technology, a spin out company from the institute, and there are these confidentiality clauses surrounding who the shareholders are. It just adds more intrigue to the issue.
