Additionally, while the source confirms the investment was contingent on restructuring and mentions the final installment was sent (around late October 2025 based on article date), it does not confirm a December 30, 2025 completion date for the investment itself—only that the recapitalization was completed by the article's publication date (October 28, 2025).
