comments byhanlong & 2nd offr delay good 4 sdl, page-19

The Australian 4/8 - "George Jones said yesterday that the ball was in their court" referring to the bid. Also " they decided to make the offer and we have indicated to them that we are fundamentally not opposed to the concept as long as they get the number right and drop all the conditions". Also SDL " was still engaged in discussions with Hanlong to try and make its offer more palatable to shareholders"
AFR 4/8 - GJ "I know what I would accept and recommend to the board and its up to them to agree to it"
WAN 4/8 - Mr Jones would not be drawn on how talks with Hanlong were progressing other than to say Sundance had made clear to its potential suitor what acceptable takeover terms were"
Now I wasnt there and was not among the media on the sidelines who were having their questions responded to by GJ but different media sources have reported the same responses - and if they are false then I would expect retractions by tomorrow at the latest.
They appear to be the facts.
SDL is that pretty girl with the willing eye at the end of the bar at 11pm - she hasnt said yes or no but has done enough to keep you interested
