I guess, I'll answer the first question, maybe turn over to Bob for the second, and then Jonathan for the third. And then maybe I'll answer the last one with the first one. So in terms of Magnus, what we can tell you is what we expect up to date obviously because we're not giving forward profit forecast. So from the transaction effective date, which is 1/1/17, so the $300 million consideration, we expect $100 million to be paid back. So we expect the assets, which was cash flow breakeven when we took it over, we expect it to have generated $100 million at the time of completion.
So the vendor loan would then reduce from $200 million to $100 million, would be payable over 5 years. So roughly $20 million per year over 5 years. So that's the expectation. I think Jonathan mentioned the point, which is actually very important, which is there is a notional tax because we have not owned the asset. There's a notional tax of 40% associated with that $100 million payback. And that notional tax will be not there because we have a significant tax carryforward pool. And so we expect our cash flows to be without a tax burden once we complete going forward.
