Question: Rajiv Sharma - B. Riley Securities, Inc., Research Division - Analyst
: Could we please dig into the guidance and the decline? There's a substantial reduction in bookings guidance. I know you've said bookings for the
digital platform are looking good. Could you break that down between Percipio and Global Knowledge? How much of the $70 million decline in
revenues is because of Global Knowledge?
Question: Rajiv Sharma - B. Riley Securities, Inc., Research Division - Analyst

since you purchased it?
Question: Rajiv Sharma - B. Riley Securities, Inc., Research Division - Analyst

: Got it. And then you had also mentioned earlier when you had done the acquisition that there was a $25 million EBITDA loss on Codecademy that
you were expecting to turn around to a breakeven in 12 months or so. Correct me if I'm wrong on that. Is that still the understanding you are able
to cut the expenses to take it to breakeven?
