I think it is pretty obvious that I am part of a crowd that has been interacting with as many shareholders as possible.
Looking for feedback, thoughts, ideas etc, in a constructive manner.
As at tonight 2,152 shareholdings have been contacted via email.
Accounting for 323m shares on issue.
A further 42m shares have been mailed a letter.
Some of these holders have brokers, and they forwarded the correspondence to them.
I have spoken to 2 brokers today, and as Scott alluded there is likely 2 camps possibly 50 / 50. Liquidity now / Wait for escrow.
The 2 brokers were split. I suppose it does depend on your client mix. I respect that.
As I have posted before, it all comes down to numbers.
For the liquidity brigade to get their way, any offer needs to be a knockout offer IMO.
The threshold to reject an off market offer is very low, unless you are happy not having full ownership. I doubt a bid will be made this way from my experience and research.
A scheme of arrangement requires a 50% turnout and a 75% FOR vote.
A high threshold still.
If Scott, Treadstone or any bidder are reading this, I strongly suggest any Binding offer is exceptional.
Rolling a board has a high threshold. We know this.
Stopping a cheap takeover does not have a high threshold.
LLL performance today could not have come at better time.
