For your information and for others that you want to share with, shares here are issued to employees at specific times of the year each year and are part of a formal ESOP. Unlike external investors, we have limited open periods for employees across the year where this can be done. Every single employee in the company has a short-term incentive and a long-term incentive program - that's how we attract and retain great talent. Half of each employee's annual incentive is moderated by overall company performance and part by personal performance. Once the shares are allocated people then receive them in one third per year over three years and designed to retain talent. And, for your information, our institutional shareholders, the ones that provide us with a lot of our working capital don't feel that key people here hold sufficient shares - hence the recent one time issue for some of the key people to provide better retention incentives as they receive these shares over three years.
