terrible stock performance ...imay sell., page-48

IMO - the only issue is whether the Chinese follow through - remember offer is subject to, subject to. I cant see how either FIRB or Govt can knock this back.
Only other option, is for a 3rd party to jump in and make an offer for an asset, say Prom Hill, but really where does that leave OZ.
I think OZ management are in a state of fatigue, embarrassment, denial, so their instinct will be to sell it off ASAP, and slip quietly into the sunset.
