    1. Regarding the potential sale of your Jamaica assets, which generate approximately $125 million in annual EBITDA, how do you anticipate this divestiture will impact your overall EBITDA guidance and the timeline for your deleveraging plans?
    2. Could you provide more detail on the status and expected timing of the FEMA claim resolution, and how confident are you in the projected $425 million cash inflow for 2025, especially since it's excluded from your current EBITDA guidance?
    3. With respect to your LNG hedging strategy, can you quantify the portion of your excess volumes that have been hedged versus those exposed to spot market prices, and how might fluctuations in TTF prices impact your profitability and cash flows?
    4. In participating in Brazil's upcoming power auctions, how are you balancing the goal of minimizing CapEx and avoiding building assets on your balance sheet with the need to secure turbines and ensure timely project execution amid potential supply chain constraints?
    5. Given that some of your contracts in Puerto Rico are short-term and linked to diesel prices, what risks do you foresee in renewing these contracts under less favorable terms, and how might transitioning to Henry Hub-based pricing affect your margins and strategic position in that market?
