GNX a possible takeover target?, page-19

You're right, they're waaay more confident this time around.Previously they were talking confidently about how it was going to happen/ likely to happen/ close to happening.... Now SK is talking about it like it's already signed off.

Even just the shift in language he uses - there's certain things you can't say as a director if they're not essentially a done deal because it would be seen as misleading the market, and I think we've entered that territory now so for me that's the big giveaway that something's more or less done and it's only formalities/paperwork holding things up rather than anything still being resolved in the deal.
