Ann: Essential and TLEA to enter into Scheme of Arrangement, page-127

Tempting as it may be to use the survey as an outlet to vent about current management, I'm not sure that is in our best interests.

If TLEA believe that we are happy with management and believe in their ability to progress Pioneer Dome to production then IMHO they'll be more likely to come to the conclusion that a much higher bid will be required to entice us to give up our shares.

If they are told that most shareholders think management is incompetent and incapable of realizing the full value of our asset, they're more likely to believe that a marginally higher bid will be good enough to pass the vote.

Perhaps keep this in mind when answering the survey.
