RE: NN getting bigger18 Dec 2021 14:36
I don't think there was any doubt that the original 'buyer' was NN. There was frequent references to the proximity of the NN smelter in the communications from the board, and then a subsiduary of NN carried out the DD. That didn't go through, as after that the BoD got further offers (RNS 30th Sept and 28th Oct).
SInce then the references to NN have continued, so it looks like the board are still expecting to sell to NN, presumably at an increased price. I have no doubt the terms of the sale will be complicated and that it will have taken a long time negotiating.
