That is interesting. I thank Mr. Hendrick. A very good investigation was carried out into the NBI deal by The Currency. I give the people there credit for the work they have done. One of the issues they raised is that when this was originally proposed, approximately €220 million was promised in equity to NBI by shareholders, which, I think, has turned into about €100 million in debt. Why were the original promises by investors not honoured? Can Mr. Hendrick give the committee any details on that matter?
