Deals still in the works

I know we are not supposed to compare our company to others but I can’t help looking for information to help me hold every share and sleep through the night. The previous examples Ahsineeg and I produced were of companies that were a long way down the path when the formed the SC & hired the FA. After 2 years of talks Kinross actually engaged a FA five weeks earlier than GBR so to say it took 6-8 weeks to get a deal was not quite accurate. More often they are formed and hired after a proposal has been received so around 8 weeks is the norm in those cases. In all of the cases the formation of the SC was never announced as Laurion’s was.

SO, I have been searching for examples of companies that announced the formation of a Special Committee and hiring of a Financial Advisor and have only found one in recent history. The other example is a bit dated (2012) but follows the same line. Both news releases are worded very similarly to Laurion’s and resulted in the announcement of a deal 6-8 months later. See bellow

With this timeline posted, it brings me to what I mentioned and disucessed to another shareholder while attending the AGM on November 15; he was holding to a Christmas buyout; I was holding for a Easter buyout. All timelines and deals are different; but this shows Easter is still in the cards.  We also talk about how management isn't doing enough, they are; more than we know, but who' ...more
