RE: RE: RE: That's enough for me! To Opg,
This is my first post here, and I am happy to see some mature (serious) posts from this website. I am interested to know your opinion about the management and directors (specifically Penner). Also, how much muscle does CPG currently have over policy.
It is my impression that Penners move to President is mainly shareholder pressure. I am relatively more optimistic when a person of financial mentality takes over. He has stated the following "our top two current priorities are to strengthen our balance sheet and maximize our capital efficiency,” . Therefore, it is also my impression that Mr. Penner is cleaning house and there will be pain to go thru (e.g. Statoil).
With regards to capital structure, I believe that it it is in the best interest of any acquirer to be purchasing the convertible debt from the secondary market before making a bid. I would not be surprised if CPG has discretely already purchased some at significant discount to par.
It would be even nicer if Arcan has the ability to do that. It would be interesting to know how much is the convertible debt priced on the secondary market.
Regards,
Azam
