Strategy - What happens next!!, page-6

If the kicker was the refinery then why did KDR give up all marketing rights to the end product to SQM?
A buyer wanting to secure its lithium supply chain now has to deal with SQM for product or takeover SQM.
What advantage is there in buying KDR's 50% other than to be a passenger in the profits!
Unless SQM come to the party on debt financing to help KDR with it's 50% share for the refinery then KDR will have given away its strategic marketing rights to the product for nothing. I hope future debt funding is part of the intent, otherwise SQM could still push along with the refinery and excluding KDR from any share if it can't come up with the cash to fund its share.
