ann - management buy out of europe business, page-18

I filled out a complaint online which included the following:

"The Company has today announced a management buy out for a portion of the companies business. Recent events have led to severe reduction in the value of the companies assets. This has reduced drastically the value of the shares. A recent share consolidation has further added to this devaluation.

I believe, as do many other investors that I communicate with, that the management have had a vested interest in keeping value low and a conflict of interest between their own interests and the interests of the shareholders generally.

I ask that this matter be investigated as a matter of urgency as there is a lot at stake for the general shareholders bearing in mind that VPG is commonly held in super funds and is important in providing retirement income for many, including myself.
