RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: Time Running Out For P Hi Ihateshares,
Good post. I completely agree that Cope has made it absolutetly clear that he wants to get a deal done and move on to Orex. As I have posted my observations from PDAC, other employees of OK seem to have "moved on" as well. I also believe that if PAA is the eventual acquirer, Cope will cede to a "friendly takeover" discount to PAA in the interest of moving on. I do not however, equate this to "desparation". If PAA's offer is so deeply discounted, he simply says "no deal" and post July 2012, PAA is left having to pay a premium in a possible bidding war situation against other interested parties who have already met with OK.
I have been somewhat frustrated waiting through the PAA delays. However, what I have seen Cope do lately in regards to meeting other suitors and the independent study (post PEA), have demonstrated to me that he has had enough with PAA and has gone on the offensive. Don't forget that we have institutional shareholders such as Sprott that aren't interested in having Cope recommend a low ball offer.
