proposed sale of a world-class asset..., page-55

By putting the 25% up for sale, and presuming that H/Q and ITOCHU don't exercise their pre-emptive right, could this then make that condition in either agreement become null and void?

Ie. Is this a way of ensuring the court case runs its full course, and actually starts on time, with no chance of H/Q delaying the process by approaching "on the steps"?

I'm just throwing ideas around for discussion.

At the end of the day, this can only be an idiotic decision, or a strategic one. The question is, which one is it?
