The other positive is that institutions put in $12m in March, with the intention that those funds would be deployed for a "strategic acquisition".

There may be an element in recent selling of some of the investors losing patience after 8 months of no acquisitions, and the money just sitting in a TD earning bugger all interest.

This is a chance for MBE to make better use of those funds, to substantially increase MBE's return on equity.

The other side of this, is that it has been a long wait - pressure is on MBE to deliver a quality acquisition worth the wait.
