Thanks John.

Yes, this is right up my alley and relevant to the adidas work I am doing.

It looks like they have a solid but small business.  The key would be to understand their cap structure and intentions - whether or not they want to run it as a business or whether they want to sell the business.  I would think our interest would be helping them make strategic progress towards maximizing the later (with capital, strategic advisory & business development support).

I will do a deeper look and have a read out on our Monday call.

Best,

Neil
