 Not done Wikipedia articles do not needed to list board of directors or acquisitions unless there is something specifically noteworthy about them. Z1720 (talk) 17:53, 25 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

The acquisitions and board of directors are already listed in the Wikipedia article, which is now out of date. I'm simply requesting that the information be updated so that it is correct. Runswithaplan (talk) 16:32, 6 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
