RE:RE:8th Monitors Report On PWC Website
RE:RE:8th Monitors Report On PWC Website A question for all - How can bidders incorporate IQ within their bid structure (IQ have 2 - 300m to offer) when the Bid Process expressly forbids collaboration between parties?
No doubt more than one bidder would like to utilise this substantial sum, and in many different ways. It helps spread the risk and you have the Government on board which is always a good 'start in life'.
And on the same theme, does the inclusion of IQ money not give an unfair advantage to Pallinghurst as these entities had preliminary discussions pre CCAA (that Minister had at least one dinner with the two present)?

Here, two or more bids can be deemed equivalent taking into account differing factors such as inclusion of existing shareholders. Canadian courts have upheld this approach in the corporate arena, whereby directors can apply broader considerations than just the bottom line. Since there are eight bidders, an auction may just happen, which would generate an even better result. The bidders should be able to revise their terms to include elements viewed as valuable in the evaluation process (such as inclusion of existing shareholders).
