 * Hi PK650,
 * Here is an additional source that notes "Yildiz Holding, Godiva's Turkish parent since 2008, will remain owner of the Godiva brand, while granting MBK a perpetual license in Godiva Japan's service area."
 * Would this work to change the initial line?

 * I'm sorry but I can't read the articles due to them being paywalled. PK650 (talk) 09:07, 10 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Relevant quote here: "The buyout firm fought off about a dozen interested parties to seal the deal, worth more than $1bn, for Godiva’s retail and distribution operations in Japan, South Korea and Australia. Godiva will retain control of the brand." 205.182.136.53 (talk) 14:29, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * In this case, given you are introducing very specific language this needs to be explicitly stated in the source. PK650 (talk) 04:46, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
