I think Newcrest will want to get this sorted asap. Whilst people here are concentrating on the price, Newcrest will be looking at what that extra 5% will give them. In effect total control.
It will be interesting to see what they offer for the 5%, as this will be an indicator of how they will work with GGP.
A low ball offer and I suspect they will be pushing for 100% ownership. If so they could put pressure on us in different ways to get us to sell. People have also said we can sell to someone else. Well I am not sure any of the big boys will be buying with Newcrest having all the day after holding 75%.
We just have to hope that Newcrest play fair. I know some have said about reputation being damaged, but I don’t believe that. Look at what is happening now. Pressure on the sp by someone. Could it be Newcrest?
