RE:RE:newsReading the MPVD press releases is like hunting for easter eggs - in the snow. One gets cold feet. So for Sale 2, they rolled some fancies and specials from the previous split into this sale, plus some fancies and specials which would have been part of the NEXT sale; hence, the higher per-carat figure. They expect the per-carat price for Sale 3 to be lower than average. I quote their thought on dividends: "The specifics of the [dividend] policy are expected to be established within the coming months as rough diamond price trends are confirmed, and in conjunction with determining the allocation of capital to the callable component of the Company’s senior notes." So the plan is to use cash flow to first, reduce the amount of debt outstanding (reduce interest payments) by calling some bonds, then thinking about paying cash to shareholders. Cheers, all.
