So, once you sold the company, it was, I suppose, what's next, Lord? And, uh, what did you sense?
9:23
Well, I, I, I didn't seize the opportunity to sell the company.
9:29
Uh, I didn't have an alternative, to be honest [laughs] with you.
9:32
Uh, we, we floated the company, so we're, we're on the stock market, and we floated the company at a price of 90 pence a share.

And the offer came for £9 a share, and I had to say to the shareholders, "This is a good deal or a bad deal." And I had to say, "Look, this is a, an amazing deal.
9:57
Uh, I can't guarantee you a, a better deal than this if I don't accept the offer." So, it was right at the time.
10:07
It was a God-given opportunity, uh, for, uh, me, and the shareholders, and everybody else.
