Takeover update?, page-10

I can't believe that the negotation of the takeover can take so long!

May be the buyer is not the preferred acquirer by directors and management as it is the buyers intension to 'clean out ' the current directors and management and replace them with their own prople.

If the acquisition of Devine can not be resolved for the benefit of existing shareholders quickly than Leighton's should acquire the balance of the company. The current situation need to be resolved.
