There must be some pretty rivetting drama happening backstage. After the transforming experience of the GFC I don't think bankers panic easily. I am certain there are cool heads doing the numbers and probabilities and figuring that calm dealing is more likely to get them back their money.

I suspect that credit is due to DML board in keeping this business dragged out rather than buckle under the pressure and do a cheap deal. And while they are playing for time they are furiously improving the production figures so the company can be uprated with the passing of each day. But then, even the most brilliant managers need some good luck going their way at times.
