An all american band ( board of directors)at Anadarko Way Way Way back in 1989 took over Norcen Energy. Your right about that. Every member of the Canadian board of directors resigned. It was not a hostile takeover Anadarko Canada as it was named simply wanted it's own American Parent appointed board of directors. Grant resigned along with everyone else because that was the deal and not as implied because he was in any way incompetent. Norcen placed itself up for sale.
How that brings together this CLQ technology rescue 15 years later out of the blue isn't clear until the business pasts of those having put the deal together are uncovered by us retards in the process. Mainly by accident/curiosity as frankly we get no help from the millionaires themselves.
Shares for both companies are trading up reasonably well on fresh air. I would have thought the trading would have been extremely thin to none given the absence of communication and the financial debacle CLQ has just emerged from without having resolved the core issue.
I think we can put aside the retail industry giants such as Wal Mart for now. None of the individuals involved can have many connections in that field. It's got to be showcased elsewhere.
