    Business Spectator article with Larkin:

    Couple of points:

    Tony Boyd did not seem to understand, initially, the background of the BBIPL subordinated guarantee. Make no mistake - BNBG/BNB010 holders will be debt holders in BBIPL - subordinate to the senior facilities - but debt holders none the less.

    The "restructuring fee" is EVERY BIT AS BAD as I have pointed out in prior posts. This is financing BNB with compounding "credit card" debt. It is terminal to the long term interests of the equity holders.

    Larkin is completely a creature of the banks. He has drawn the line between those who have access to sequestered assets and those who do not. BNBG and BNB010 holders, in Larkin's mind - are on the wrong side of the ledger.

    Larkin is a complete banker Quisling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vidkun_Quisling)
    The ordinary holders should summon a SGM - and sack the board!!

    Larkin should spend his time trying to refinance, find M&A partners, convince the banks to take a debt for equity swap. Instead, we get his "excuses for failure".

    BNBG holders - be warned - Larkin is coming for your money. You will not get a sausage unless you are prepared for a fight.

    The only point of leverage BBSN holders have is the threat to spoil the bankers party by tipping things into administration.
