takeover vs no takeover

With all this talk about Takeovers, I thought I would start a reasons for and against thread.

Reasons Supporting A Takeover

- Hanlong have positioned themselves with almost 20% of holdings.
- Chinese are going to be tied in with rail, port, finance and offtake.
- China already heavily involved with Cameroon.
- It would make sense for China to want to cut out the middle man.
- SDL haven't exactly welcomed Hanlong with opened arms
- It would be cheaper and more profitable for the Chinese to take over the company.

Reasons Against A Takeover

- A takeover could ruin relationships with Cameroon and Congo Governments, putting the project at risk.
- A takeover would be risky considering the mining permits havent been issued.


Conclusion

There are probably more reasons supporting a takeover, however the reasons against a takeover probably hold more weight.
