 distance to the customer, I think that’s the key. I mean, if you look at Ryerson’s customer count, which we do share with the
stakeholder public, it’s about 40,000 active accounts. Olympic is about 8,000 to 9,000 active accounts. When you look at the fragmentation of the industry and the ability to go to market from a cross-selling and upselling perspective, again,
with greater selection, greater value add, but really getting closer to the customer day to day as those opportunities come in. It really is a function of I have it, I can do it in one day or two days. I can give you the value-add solution you want. Or on the contract side, we have a menu of value-added options for you to select from. Not just supply chain design, but risk management, scrap management, and a whole bunch of other
things that we can bring to the table when we’re trying to create a better customer solution. Rick?

Rick Marabito: Yeah, I couldn’t agree

opportunity that Eddie just talked about. So yeah, I think we’re not even touching on Mexico, where Olympic has a very small presence. And so, I see a lot of growth opportunities at least on the Olympic side of the equation of what we do and
where we are. So, really excited about it.

Samuel McKinney: Okay. And then last one for me. Currently, Ryerson generally reports as a whole company.
While, Rick, you touched on earlier, you guys provide results for carbon, specialty and pipe and tube. Are you planning for this merger to be a complete roll up with no segments, or are you going to provide some segments to the business?

Edward Lehner: We don’t know. So we’re going to figure it out though because we’re not. Okay, Sam. That’s all - those are all the
things you have to do between signing and close. So that goes
