RE:Question about Appointment of Steve / PR ManagerI touched on this subject the other day and feel the same as you. It doesn't make sense if we are on the final straight to appoint someone to deal with us. The reason Steven is needed is because there will be a little wave of unrest when nothing is announced within the next couple of months and it may keep some people a little calmer. I think Steven is doing a great job so far btw.
it's very hopeful to think that LME will be able to push a deal through on their own terms by year end because it suits best. We are talking about a multi billion dollar deal (hopefully) , I cannot see a buyer being strong armed into a timeline that's not favourable to them. Unless they feel they are getting a discount as a result.
my final thought is that I think there is too much emphasis being put on us as tiny shareholders. I don't expect Cynthia to care about me and I don't expect her to spend any time answering to me or any other small time shareholders. We are here by choice and it makes no difference to Cynthia whether we are in or out. She's doing this for herself, not because she wants to help us all out. She doesn't care about the share price short term (or she would divulge the data room publicly). Her only focus is on a disposition (rightly so and why we are all here) and any time spent engaging with shareholders is time wasted imo. This is absolutely no disrespect to Cynthia, but too many of us think she cares about us personally. She shouldn't waste her time reading what we say, thinking about us and most definitely not engaging with us.
