Dilution/JV/TO2 Apr 2013 12:42
To set up a data room which will allow interested parties to view available documentation (the books) is a good sign. In essence, the BoD must already have vetted those who are interested and have a high degree of confidence in working with one as a future Strategic Partner. Otherwise, why else would the BoD let anyone see AFE's treasures unless both parties intended to move forward?
Finding a better suited "Strategic Partner" may just be a smoke screen that introduces a time lag for due diligence for those currently viewing the books.
And, as i said last Friday, the big question is how tolerant will the BoD be when we need to allow for dilution/a JV to get best value for share holders?
Have we just had the first warning shot for such an event.?
We shall see.
