Michael Willoughby

Thanks morning, Good Mark. for the question.

push engagements, So, client with LiveArea you’re the regard outs, were right engagement not PFS engagement. initially to those

early QX have there in QX, we contribution that anticipated some those some. not deals engagements either in were lot, couple we or but QX. been where a late expected a So, size meaningful would there launching of And

a for the each launch just so, in coming the risk the looked And of criteria, as middle they perspective in to QX situations, or in instead QX that were into wanted those and of part internal at we from QX. client of timeline whatever other decided

that it side had nothing so And was them. ability to really things to launch their on were with and do our

And so, timing it’s just a really issue.

So, we’ll QX. expect as those expected early to launch in

LiveArea, the then with there any on market to change order of to regards activities to, in fire kind sale of to around a in isn’t not our We’ve strategy sort And gone I the encourage to increase think pricing. in engage. people with,
