Showmethekwan You need to do your homework. Xstrata's original offer which was accepted as a "fair deal" by the Canadian government and Bear Sterns was for $18.50 per share. Norilsk decided to make an offer - and did - for $21.50 per share and had to agree to a "self imposed" breakfee put on by LionOre management of $500 MILLION over and above the purchase price.
Xstrata came back with an offer of $25.00 per share which LionOre management agreed to - but just in case LionOre bumped the "break fee" to $850 MILLION. Norilsk increased their offer to $27.50 per share and agreed to the $850 MILLION self imposed "break fee". So the original offer from Xstrata was a LOUSY deal. What isn't shown was the fact that over many months, in a red-hot nickel market, LionOre shares lost something around 24% of the gross value of the company. It was a rigged deal - and THAT is how Xstrata does business. They had to have a willing partner - LionOre - to do so but that's very common where management sells out its shareholders.
Next time you might want to do a bit of research before you post since you really don't know what you're talking about. I do - I was a shareholder.
