Not much time for posting today but I 100% think the board have done the right thing in farming out. We needed to be in this position to take us where we need to go.
What I don't agree is the high percentage they propose to give over and the low ball value they have put on it. Yes that is right, I said "propose" it still has to be ratified via an egm vote
I also would like to know what the other parties were willing to put on the table because the board made it seem that any other options were derisery and hardly worth considering. I would like to be the judge of that
I've said all along I won't accept a low ball offer and I won't be voting for it at this price. I would like to be in a position of putting a counter proposal to the zubairs at a more realistic level but that will depend on whether enough shareholders are willing to mobilise to do this. At this moment I have no idea the percentage required for us to put one forward but I'll look into it and hopefully get back to it by tomorrow.
OK, so we all know that as small% of something is better than nothing so we don't need to go over that, it is a simple matter of whether you want to push for more? At this point, how much more is not so relevant, but I believe we could go back and get some more if we make the effort because it's my belief the Zubs know full well it's a lowball offer and 40m to them is a drop in the ocean compared to what they will make through the industrialisation program they have going on in Tanzania. Remember, bartering is a part of the middle eastern culture! and my old uncle always said to me "If you don't ask you don't get" Over to you guys n gals
