it will not have closer ties to any of the companies involved than it does relative to any of the others = it will not have ties to the involved companies that are any closer than its ties with companies that are not involved. investment above and beyond the means of the current employees = investment that is too expensive for the current employees to buy.

  • it will not have closer ties to any of the companies involved than it does relative to any of the others = it will not have ties to the involved companies that are any closer than its ties with companies that are not involved.
  • investment above and beyond the means of the current employees = investment that is too expensive for the current employees to buy.
