RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: Lowering the bar Hey Monkey,
what makes you so sure we will be sold by next summer? You have to think now with 2 rejections, bidders will be shy or uninterested in trying again. And the standstills have expired with no expressed interest. Do you or anyone ever see a company shutdown talks twice in a few years then proceed to complete a deal? There have been no share buyback, now new low priced options, and just one acuisition that doesnt really change the composition of the company, so this is all positive for a potential 3rd kick at the can. Now business is business, but you have to think with 2 rejections the number of takeover suitors in the North Sea is small. Can you share your thoughts on why a takeover is still very likey when I see it being much less likely now. For the record I'll tender my 300,000+ shares quickly if a bid came out......
