Q: Can you help describe for us how a sitting CEO, also be involved with buying that company? Doesn't the CEO have privileged information that most other shareholders don't and also isn't there a conflict of interest to float a potential offer as it can artificially manipulate the short term stock price? It's very confusing to me that he can do this without undue influence.

Q: Just sell - NOW!! Don't wait another day! JUST SELL!!!
With 30B in debt; nearly 40B in questionable Goodwill & In-tangible Assets & no audited Financial Statements; - what else would you need. As well, apparently they are now in breach of their Walmart contract for non-compliance & of course, there is the US Justice Dept. investigation as well as the SEC probe. Sounds about right for an auction - if there will be any realizable assets.

Q: Hi,

Are you concerned that large Cdn tech companies are only able to how earnings through acquisitions? CSU's organic growth over the last 3 quarters is essentially flat. Why aren't they able to grow their existing businesses? Do you expect organic growth to return when the macro economic environment improves?

Thank you,
Jason
