Sorry to bring people down, but how can it be done if the shareholders haven't even got the bid yet?
 
Or have they?

The FT are the only ones that have told us they don't yet have it. The shareholders could have recieved it this morning already knowing what's in it and just said "yes"

I presume it means the board & MM have agreed & are confident that sufficient shareholders will find it acceptable. :icon_eek:

Or maybe the board have already canvassed the major shareholders for their opinions and notified them of the details of the bid thus allowing them to make a decision.

That's essentially what I meant - we have been told that they have been kept informed & that the negotiations were all about overcoming their problems/worries/misgivings.

But as Jeff says, they need it in writing - many a slip....
 
I should think that enough of the shares to give control are sewn up - the board have 33% so that's only another 17%.

For the full 90% to demand total ownership - less likely.

That'd fit in with what the clown Barber said on the moan-in. Some form of control by Saturday.
