Very Positive NewsHey rdge044,
You delivered on your promise. Well done! And thanks to the spirit of MLB.
It looks like our patience has finally started to pay off. The company still has a lot of work ahead of it now, but what appeared previously to be a pretty one sided agreement for the past 20 (?) years seems somewhat more balanced. And the resulting structure should now put MPV shareholders in a pretty comfortable position going forward. I'm sure the TIGs were involved in the negotiations, as it clearly has their signature all over it. Another job well done.
The required financing by MPV is easily achievable, and does not present a real challenge given the new terms/conditions and long term financial benefits. Look for one or a combination of the following as we move forward. Whichever way we move, we the shareholders will be the beneficiaries:
1] a rights offering to existing shareholders of say 60 days duration. I'd participate in a heartbeat.
2] one or more staggered pp taken down by the TIGs
3] a pp taken down by one or more interested suitors
4] a public financing.
The last would be the least desirable, because of legal and financing costs to the company, not to mention the manipulation by those brokerages involved. Time will tell. It would be nice to have a copy of the fully revised agreement for study, since what has been provided so far is pretty limited in scope.
In any event, a very positive development.
Cheers,
Brit
