Major changes were made to the wording of the article. It contained an off-topic summary of the GN Group, including links to the main article (a breach of Wiki guidelines). Additionally, there were numerous repetitions of the phrase "acquired in September 2000," which has been addressed along with fixing grammar and addressing some layout issues related to ChatGPT.
