[R0.2] eDiscovery & Legal Operations Manager (speak, private to=Antitrust & Compliance Counsel,Finance & Risk Manager): To understand our internal spending approval processes and any constraints with outside counsel, I can share our retention configuration and legal hold execution capacity.

[R0.3] Finance & Risk Manager (speak, public): To clarify our financial oversight for the investigation, I can share that the FY26 investigations budget is set at $1.2M.

Could we discuss the specific budget considerations you have in mind and how they might affect our approach?

[R1.3] Finance & Risk Manager (speak, public): In light of our discussion, it's crucial to understand that if we need to act quickly, we should keep in mind the potential budget constraints.
