A Wild Guess I would say it had something to do with the Huntsman deal going tits up, Also during that period John Knowles stepped down and they ventured into India,Taiwan and the forbidden ( with anyone who has experience knows its a quagmire that few western " or Eastern " company,s emerge unscathed with IPO etc intact ) China,, Take a look at VRS now after china venture , Plenty of potential ! But ,,,,,,,,,
Maybe a SOB strategy that did not pay off, There were / is some good professional people @ Haydale ie- Gerry Boyce, Trevor Phillips, etc , Such a Shame its gone to the Dogs
