Operative words

"After careful consultation with our member companies regarding the health and safety of everyone in our industry... we have made the difficult decision to cancel E3 2020, scheduled for June 9-11 in Los Angeles. Following increased and overwhelming concerns about the COVID-19 virus, we felt this was the best way to proceed during such an unprecedented global situation." (ESA statement on e3expo.com, archived Apr. 4, 2020, Ex. SEC-06-GM-063)
