Transfer Rumours Some big announcement apparently

Yep , thats about it .The sellers (shareholders ) may put in some protection for those left behind but my understanding their not going to as the yanks want 71% ownership which in turn means they have full ownership rights .

 

Will they be In a position to force the sale of the trusts percentage?

 

In terms of the investors, are you sure they are only Yanks?

i believe they want 75.1% of the Voting Rights. At that level, they can "force through" Special Resolutions

A special resolution is a resolution of the company’s shareholders which requires at least 75% of the votes cast by shareholders in favour of it in order to pass. Where no special resolution is required, an ordinary resolution may be passed by shareholders with a simple majority – more than 50% – of the votes cast.

I don't believe so - but the New People would be in de facto control

 

The only time you can set a special resolution aside (By Court order), even though a party have such a 75.1% share holding, is if the vote is for corrupt purposes.......
