Note there is a weird spacing "$200 -000" likely means $200,000. We'll preserve as "$200,000"? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep exactly as written? It says "$200 -000". Probably a typo but we should keep as given. We'll keep "$200 -000". Similarly "September 28 - 2026". Keep as is.
