RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Press Release Jan/23There are many comments on this that have been made over the months.
As way know, their official stance, is no to that. However, as to whether they would give in on that at the end, I cannot say.
I am sure that most of the folks on the forum would be good on that even if it mean having to take a bit of a hit if the shares taken back are blown after the BO.
However, for Roger and the LME Board, there may be a lock-up period necessitated, which they may not find pallatable.
With all that said, I think that this is a lot less likely to be an issue given that they have brought USCG on board. My guess is that they have access to foreign buyers, perhaps in middle east, that have the mega buck needed to do a cash deal.
I don't think that they would have been brought in if the buyer was a Canadian pubco.
