According to me, only assumption 2 is implicit. Assumption 1 is not implicit because nothing is mentioned about investors in the statement.

I dont think that the meeting can help in regaining confidence of The investors as the meeeting is a forum where they will only try to find out the cause. To get the confidence of Investors they have to find & implement solutions to the causes

I don't think that I is correct in context to the statement as nothing is mentioned about the nature or thinking of the investors, nothing is mentioned about the aim for which the task is been performing, it could be performed for any other aim also.
Can anyone explain?
