Thanks Doctor.

What I have been unable to understand is how selling assets helps the shareholders. What you get from the asset sales will probably go to reduce debts, leaving shareholders in no better position. And if what assets you are left with (especially if it is mostly goodwill by then), are of no great value, SP can't get any better. SP will only improve if you sell some assets for more than what they are worth, which is difficult if you are conducting a fire sale with banks or creditors breathing down your neck. I hope this is not the scenario we are in, but I am not too confident.
