“Most of these strings were not contained…” until “…no further information is publicly available on the details of such arrangements.” seems to me to be important in terms of knowing what happened with the non-AGB string applications from 2012 that were subject
of controversy and or problems. In fact, the paragraph is at times a bit speculative or vague:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
