- Verify the full consolidated financial results for the year ended December 31, 2009, as this filing does not contain revenue or profit data.
- Confirm the total share count and ownership structure of the Controller (Group and Family) to ensure the 32.2583% total participation remains accurate.
- Review the complete list of transactions for the Board of Executive Officers to reconcile the opening and closing balances, as the reported purchases do not fully explain the net decrease in holdings.
