Mr. Fergal Mulligan:
Without commenting too much on the deal, no, there would not be concern. The new investors coming in are very experienced telecoms investors, long-term investors. The fact that the exiting shareholders have sought to sell their shareholding of 80%, for us, just shows that the project is in a very good place in that people in the market - other investors - were willing to buy the company. To buy the company means the company has a very good future, a bright future. It is like selling a car, where, unless the car is in good condition, you will not sell it.
