Hi Kerin,

I posted the wrong version inadvertently: Here is the full version:

1) From what I could see a new CEO is best to target Amazon, Chewy and Petco.(report a personal observation)

2) I gathered from a report that the revenue growth has stalled flat and Elena thinks about a change. (report from another source)

3) I’m just not 100% convinced that Christine is the best successor. (express doubt)

4) I am fully confident that a new CEO would be perfect to increase the revenues. (be persuasive)

5) I would not go as far to say that we have to sell the company just because the revenues have not increased. (try to avoid being negative)

6) That’s not a reason to sell the company in order to expand. (dismiss an obstacle)

7) The major advantage being that Elena can keep the majority shareholder position and can even become the Chairman of the Supervisory Board. (state an advantage)
