A downside - from STOCKOPEDIA26 Sep 2018 15:13
The success of PLT is not going to be fully enjoyed by BOO shareholders, and we can already see the impact of this minority shareholding in today's announcement:

It might not seem like a huge number at £3.5 million, but it represents 18% of group profit that is going to minority interests rather than BOO shareholders, mostly because BOO didn't acquire all of PLT. That would leave a sour taste in my mouth, if I was a BOO shareholder!
