Lafitte, that is exactly the point. Bh p can't do anything about giving a company say Franco 10% with a standstill and committ ment to vote with the BOD for 12 months, it gives Nick an almost certain stay as CEO until DFS and the conditional funding is drawn on.
Nick can still enter a JV with say barrick and BHP can do nothing about it.
The special resolutions were never going to passed as cgp, irwin, newcrest etc have 22-23%.
Bhp can give solg money to help them and maintain there % or they can bid with a hostile premium....neither are good options.
