SLR gets a mention 3rd to last paragraph on pg1.

Says that SLR may have just made itself a juicier morsel by merging with IGR.
I agree. The combined entity is a more attractive target to larger players although much of SLR's success may not be replicated (or maintained) without current management.
Hopefefully it stays as is for us Aussie holders to keep as a long term successful investment with strong growth (and a regualr dividend to look forward to!).
