Dear dear, peeps frothing at the mouth over yesterdays news… what a kerfuffle, eh.
GGP needs more cash to cater for the imminent rise in capex for Hav.
Secondly, if as is suggested, NEM wish to jettison Telfer ( and or Hav), then GGP needs more equity to counter other bids from other interested parties who are encircling the buyout.
Thirdly, if Wyloo are about to step in and buy the shop then GGP needs to make sure they are worthy partners and can keep up. One of the above is probably the way forward and SD knows he needs more cash - the end.
The fact that all of this has ‘slipped out’ early, means SD now has some damage limitation to do for his PI’s.
Starbright ( who has been here, on and off for years) tends to be that little bit closer to how these things work and James always makes sense ;).
Stay calm and carry on. Service will resume shortly.
