RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:mineralized CorridorCommon sense tells me that what you are saying is probably the case.
In addition, an all cash deal limits the number of potential buyers who can compete.
It will be interesting to see whether the Board ultimately wavers from that position.
Ironically, I am sure that most members of this group would be happy with a part-share deal, especially if it helps facilitate "getting er done".
They could have the option of selling all or a portion of the shares they get into the public market, or retaining some to maintain a good investment and defer taxes, since the capital gain would not have to be recognized on the portion recieived in shares until those shares are sold.
