But to address your question, if you consider the number of shares set for buyback and extinguishment, it's just about 2.2%. This, in my view, won't significantly alter the stock's overall fundamentals. Typically, post-buyback, one examines whether there will be a significant improvement in return on equity, as the base capital, the equity capital, diminishes. Since the equity capital reduction is likely just around 2.2%, it's not substantial enough for the ROE to improve merely because of the buyback. As for retail investor participation? Given the narrowing gap between the buyback price and the current market price, many investors might opt out of the buyback. However, I do anticipate that the company will complete the buyback with full subscription, even if the overall number of shares offered might decrease.
