Still QuietFurther to my posting on August 4th, I think there is one more reason why it is possible that Cliffs is having talks with KWG about a friendly takeover.
6. I would think that Cliffs would be calling the special meeting for Spider to begin the forced amalgamation as soon as possible. They would probably be willing to wait if they can get a friendly deal with KWG that would also include a new offer for Spider to mop up the remaining shares, or at least get over 90% ownership.
