Share acquisitions from Apfarm and Commercial Alliance L.P. have already been completed. Although the additional investment via LSEA was delayed, LMWN remains a consolidated subsidiary of LY, and the impact on this period's consolidated results is expected to be minor.\n\n### Outlook and impact\nSince LMWN is already a consolidated subsidiary of LY, the impact of this postponement on this period's consolidated results is expected to be minor.
