RE:RE:Hypothetical questionsTrue bingostar, if they were to divest themselves of their shares at current value. Of course, they would benefit from any share price increase as well, if they let it be known that they were relinquishing control.
I believe they own or control approximately 300M shares. In my scenario, I can see the shares jumping to over $3 Cdn. This could net them around $1B Cdn. As pierrelebel recently noted, they have also sold about $600M Cdn worth of BRP. I do not know how much more money they have access to. As you say, $1.6B Cdn would not be enough to get them control of BA. there would have to be other parties involved.
