The Board have and will try and maximise value using various anti takeover defenses, not least the Nancy Reagan classic defense. A buyer has clearly got Lansdowne onside to support their offer, the board stay unmoved. Quite rightly. The buyer initiates proxy fight to change the board. Excellent news. If there are more than one party, a bidding war next.

Good morning Yankee ConDog :)) Early start.

Merger is the best you can hope for. That also makes an oil and gas law of less importance to who the favourites are and more than likely, the hosts.

Think you're wrong, C_T. There's serious effort going in to hold this down but a bit of volume the other way now so the shorters might have to review their campaign. It looks to me as though a low ball offer is on its way (subject to O&G Law approval).

No takeover still Paul?

No need for any hostile Paul, just a call to the Architect for a green light.

He who is the piper choses the tune.

Wipeout the sequel with even bigger surprises and twists incoming?

Lets see how we go innit:-)
