Ann: Selective Buyback Offer Documents , page-5

I've only read a fraction of the document and I have no experience of being a shareholder in an unlisted entity, so take my negativity with a grain of salt, but there seems to be quite a few things that worry me. In particular the directors appear to hold a lot of power that we shareholders have no control over i.e., ability to issue any number of shares to themselves, and ability to turn the dividend tap on and off at will by forcing us to take shares instead of dividends. I can't see too many advantages for we Aussie shareholders, but if we don't agree to swap our shares we may end up holding untradable shares (delisted from ASX). Screwed if we do, screwed if we don't?
