I think we would have loved to stay in Europe and be in Europe and that be where we might have kept our primary listing.

But the simple reality is when you get to a scale like ours, you know, 30 billion of sales and he said 5 billion of EBITDA.

our peer group in Europe just is not anywhere near our scale.

Our peer group of scale is in North America.

That's our natural home.

So I think it would certainly give companies more options in terms of their primary listing if it was bigger capital pools.

You know, we've seen, you know, latter years, we've seen a kind of flight from

London, particularly, towards North America, mostly through M&A, but some through delistings.

But, you know, Amsterdam remains a fairly active exchange, as does Frankfurt.

So there are very big exchanges in Europe.

I think it's about maybe thinking about how they connect together on a European platform rather than, you know, operating singly, which is what they kind of do at the moment.

Thanks, Ken, for joining us.
