Mr. Des Carville:

It is, but it was quite an ordeal trying to get a clear title to the assets.

The second issue was with the hospitality assets. The liquidators wanted a sale but, unfortunately, the pandemic struck. A pandemic would not be the time to sell a hospitality asset. Then, of course, we have the four assets in Russia and Ukraine. We cannot sell those at the moment.
