Has the boards left hand been introduced to the right hand???


Recommended Posts

From the initial Robert Sarver rejection:

While the Directors welcome Mr Sarver's approach, they believe that, notwithstanding the current financial difficulties, the proposal does not adequately value a controlling interest in the Company and accordingly the resolution to approve the placing is unlikely to achieve the 75% majority required. The Directors do not intend to hold the General Meeting which would be necessary to implement the proposal.

 

From todays rejection of the revised bid:

The revised proposal by Mr Sarver was similar to his first proposal in the respect that it sought a placing of 100 million shares (to be priced at 20p in this proposal) ("Placing") which, would require the approval of shareholders (at least a 75% majority) at a general meeting. The Board of Rangers rejected the first proposal from Mr Sarver on 6 January on the basis that the Board felt it unlikely that the approval of shareholders holding sufficient shares would be forthcoming. Following receipt of the revised proposal from Mr Sarver, the Board has sought the views of a number of major shareholders on this revised proposal and has reached the same conclusion, namely that the resolution to approve the placing is unlikely to achieve the 75% majority required. Accordingly, once again, the Directors do not intend to hold the General Meeting which would be necessary to implement the revised proposal.

 

Can it REALLY be that difficult to maintain the same reasoning???

Annoucements from RIFC are seldom clear and informative statements for the market.

 

They have often been used to further mislead and confuse.

Given the general MO and behaviour, we have grown used to expecting such even in market annoucements.

The Board of Rangers rejected the first proposal from Mr Sarver on 6 January on the basis that the Board felt it unlikely that the approval of shareholders holding sufficient shares would be forthcoming BECAUSE the proposal does not adequately value a controlling interest in the Company

 

 

I agree the board are guilty of malfeasance and incompetence and their statements usually poor and inconsistent, but in this case it seems to me that the statements are compatible. You can even put them together, insert the word, "because" and you end up with a fairly logical statement...
