HZ, the question of dual shareholding is an interesting one.
Some companies may not like the potential for a conflict of interest, particularly those who wish to plough their own furrow. So, if the new investor really is a shareholder in both, it suggests our board aren't worried about the conflict issue and welcome the closer tie, and perhaps they too are thinking a tie-up would be a sensible strategic move.
However, I can't see it happening until our market cap is equal to, or greater than, theirs. We don't want to be the junior partner. For me, there's a great deal of logic involved in putting the two businesses together - but not yet.
