RE:Key Word - " Binding "I agree. It is very possible that they have reached a conditional deal subject to both board's approval which they are waiting for. That would still be non binding. PRE board meting was supposed to be today, who knows when Alpha's is. I think what we are seeing out of the news releases today is Alfa commenting / posturing to try to keep a lid on the stock price from moving too high so optically their offer will seem more attractive. Hence I get the feeling that is not going to be as strong as Ohara group necessarily wants but it may satisfy most of us. Time will tell I guess ... if I don't have a jammer before then that is lol GL Zoo
