Lucas Pipes: And then – got it. Okay. That’s helpful. And then – thank you very much Shantanu. In terms of the Granite City deliberations, on kind of — on the Nippon Steel, U.S. Steel deal announcement, there’s been a lot of coverage regarding the union and commitments to workers kind of across the aisle. And when you think about the labor impact of Granite City and the pick iron conversion project, what’s your message on that? I would appreciate your thoughts.

Katherine Gates: Well, the message there is that the Granite City GPI project is something where we would look forward to working with the union. We’re working with U.S. Steel now.

Lucas Pipes: Has the union taken a position on this conversion?

Katherine Gates: They have not.

Lucas Pipes: All right. Well, I appreciate the color and to you and the whole team, best of luck. Thank you.
