Cash shells valuable for lots of reasons.
In the case of #PAL from memory there was $46M dollars worth of tax losses to be utilised - so if the RTO is like for like business and is profitable, then they can offset profits etc
In General cash shells allow an easier "listing" for a private asset than the traditional IPO route - a lot cheaper to.
Ususally the NOMADS, Brokers, advisors and lawyers all make good £ on these type of deals, so the brokers are alaways keen to keep these shells available on the market.
Not forgetting the people that finance these types of deals, again always a good £ to be made.
Just my thoughts
