Dear Jo Guise,
Thank you for the LGIMA response received today. You have asked in Q1(b) for the request to be narrowed. The question asked was about communications between the CEO and Agite or between the CEO and other parties about Agite's work. It was not intended to be about correspondence of the CEO about other subjects.
Does that help resolve this matter?
Yours sincerely,
Leigh Sutton
