To help get the shares, businesses may be willing to pay more than the share’s actual worth when pursuing this type of bid." This so interesting that the ...more

This approach of NCIB is being used very successfully by BRP since the beginning with the participation of Bain Cap. IMO a robust RS is a prerequisite to such an approach, like the 25/1 consolidation, which will bring the float and SP in the right ballpark figure. Just lets check if the institutional investment in BBD can move from the present 12% to 80+% like with BRP. Glad to see that the BOD is ...more

Hey Ralph. Hey Ralph. It's interesting that they put this NCIC in place. I have a feeling that they put this in place to try and make sure that the Shorters don't try to Hijack (pun intended) the share price again at higher levels. By sending the signal saying to the market, that they'll buy our shares for a premium anytime. By doing so, they want to let the shorters know that ...more

i think what they mean buy this is regading of fractional share example if an investor has 100132 shares, then after the revers split he will have 100,102 / 25 = 4004.08 they are talking about this .08  of a share as they can not give an investore .08 share (ftacin of a share) they will add all the fractional shares buy them at market price or higher, then redistribute the money on ...more

This time it will take a lot less money to take it private if the market does not show respect. Run it down again from here and it will be gone sooner than later.

You never know. If they pay the debt off it will be current shareholders that take  the brunt of the pain. Basically with the voting structure they can lowball an offer to go private and start brand new with no debt.  That would be criminal but within their legal  rights. These questions should have been  asked during the last conference call and their  plan on the R/S and ...more
