Ann: Revised Proposal from Albemarle, page-347

"If ALB do their due diligence and give it the tick - in the absence of a superior proposal, the board will recommend the $3" [and] subject to an independent expert concluding (and continuing to conclude) that the proposed transaction is in the best interest of shareholders.
