You'll be underwhelmed by the questioning. People talk it up on here, but faced with being assertive or angry toward men in suits most will wilt and ask a couple of passive agressive questions at best. The BOD will have the right answers to appease already prepared. No doubt the current MD will handle most of the meeting - and none of the blame is on him anyways.
You could ask the finance guy from the WA paper along, what's his column, 'Street Talk'? He might be interested. You could ask him what he knows/has heard off the record too if you can have a chat. But none of it will bring any money back to you. The BOD may be ready to announce a plan that does however.
