Mr. Conor O'Kelly:

We heard about it for the first time, and we needed to understand it ourselves. That is the first thing. We needed to consider the implications. We needed to think about what the market reaction might be. Then, we needed to make a considered decision. All of this happened. I am not sure what the timeframe was. Perhaps it was a week or ten days, which is probably about the right time for a decision of this magnitude.
