Why harsh, I am actually thinking it is strategic and maybe a kind of backdoor placing to get an interested II on board who will hopefully hold. Maybe Bushveld said "we want you on board", Duferco said "yeah ok but we are not paying market price", then Bushveld said "OK we will do a deal, reduce the Vanchem price and we will pay a big chunk in shares, which you well know will be worth a packet more in 3 years". Duferco say "OK" then internally " hey Doris get Golden Summit on the line I wanna have lunch..." or... Bushveld know GS are about to offload and make the suggestion to pay more in stock over cash to protect the balance sheet a little more and gave Duferco the nod so they accepted a discount.
Either way it is massively convenient for Duferco, there is no comment from the board despite shareholders disquiet but I find it amazing a deal could not be cooked between BMN, Duferco and GS where all would have won instead of just Duferco.
If Duferco are sticky then fine but Jehaisus it has been a torture for current stockholders, that seems on the face of it unnecessary.
Or just a great big coincidence... wont matter once we get some BE business in however
All imo of course. Ill buy more next week again...
