"I certainly hope Ian remains the boss and makes the final calls. "

"This is certainly good deal for IBML but not sure about MNM shareholders especially those that were buying in when the shateprice was much higher."

It would be a very tough ask for management to create the kind of shareholder gains without this kind of deal. This is good for all shareholders IMO.
