In the absence of any legal appeal (only on good grounds), two broad options, amongst other alternatives, for the company to consider might be:-
1. Sell the sugar business by trade sale and use the
proceeds to reduce debt and finance expansion (it is
uncertain what impediments could be placed on the use
of these proceeds); or
2. Maintain and consolidate existing operations and
focus on growth.
Both options essentially involve consolidation and the pursuit of growth.
Several years ago, when Rinker was spun-off, I understood the intentions were that CSR would provide a continuing income opportunity (through dividends) for investors, whereas Rinker was presented as the potential capital growth option.
Consistent with this original intention, maybe the company should focus on optimally structuring its existing operations, as well as expanding its recurring income-streams, to ensure that it can provide future stable and growing dividends to its shareholders.
For me, there are ongoing questions about this management and its advisers. Could it be time soon (after events settle) to change to a leadership team that will decisively take the company in a new direction.
