Mr. Fergal Mulligan:

From 1 February next year, there will be penalties for every day a milestone is missed. What we are engaged in right now is nailing down the plan for 2022 with the company to make sure it can achieve the 130,000 and that there is a confidence factor in this regard. With the current situation with Covid we need to assess this. There will be a penalty next year for any milestone it missed going into next year.
