@ Asker It seems likely (though not totally clear) that 'hung up' here has some kind of negative connotation: the hold up in these agreements seems to be slowing down progress in some way.
What we don't know is what is holding them up, why, and above all by whom? There could be a suggestion that this compnay itself has deliberately held them up for some reason; or then again, that some external factor is preventing them from going ahead.
It is also interesting to speculate whether or not there is any significance in the lexical choice of 'hung up' rather than the possibly more usual 'held up'?
There is also the possiblity that 'hung up' might have the sense of 'on display' — that seems less likely given the rest of the context, though it still couldn't be ruled out.

@ Germaine I'm not suite reading it with that sense; I think it is more along the lines: "Of all the distribution agreements on the table, which 5 are the ones that are most important for accelerating/increasing revenue?"
I agree that the difference is not huge, but it seems to me worthwhile rendering the source text as accurately as possible in FR where it can be.

Parmi les ententes de distribution les plus importantes à l'accélération/la croissance des revenus [tirés] de ces créneaux, quelles sont les cinq principales qui soient suspendues?
