The bottom line is:
"[The banks] Fiduciary guarantee [over the stockpiles] cannot prevent the continuation of the business of the recovering company, especially to the point of hindering its uplift. As per of Article 47 of Law No. 11.101/05. The Reorganization Court has the competence to decide on any act that interferes with the judicial reorganization plan."
The banks have no option but to sign (Hugely Detrimental), which is why it seems very silly that they have been taking so long.
I expect because one of state owned banks perhaps feel they have to exhaust every legal avenue, even if it is futile, prior to eventual signing maybe even they realise it's daft. There are 15,000 jobs at stake in Amapa, I highly doubt the courts will allow this delay to go on indefinitely. With any luck, the outcome may lead to the deal being signed.
I don't think anyone expected it to take this long, especially when the courts (and ports) seemed to be indicating it was about to conclude, however, personal abuse towards the CEO and calling them a liar is libellous and out of order in my opinion. I have said before, I am sure he wouldn't want to divulge too much on the situation because it is being picked up by the legal teams of the banks etc. I am personally in no desperate rush for the deal to complete and will wait as long as it takes because the prize is worth it. I also see plenty of value in the other assets being realised in the next 12 months.
If it matters to you Nick I was buying the majority at 15p so my average is much lower that you may think.
