RE:RE:RE:Today's Conspiracy TheoryThanks Ronnie. To be clear I'm also not suggesting that Barrick are in "hunter mode" (as you say, it's just a theory) - just explaining the hurdles that any bidder for Endeavour would face, now that Endeavour is a UK plc.
Securities regulation in the UK is also not great - but the takeover panel is a body with real teeth that reviews and vets the bidding process for any company falling within its remit.
Note that I am a volunteer director of ShareSoc - the UK Individual Shareholders Society (
https://www.sharesoc.org/) and we lobby the UK regulators and government for fair treatment of individual shareholders. We are in close contact with those regulators and are currently communicating with the takeover panel and government regarding the proposed takeover of Bacanora Lithium by a Chinese entity. See
https://www.sharesoc.org/campaigns/sharesocs-bacanora-investor-group-big/ for details.
Cheers,
Mark
