Maybe the timing of this transaction holds the key to working out what it might be and I can't help but think that the timing post Bara is not a coincidence. As has been alluded to by a couple of posters today, did this transaction have to wait until Bara was done and dusted? If so, why? Clearly the terms of a friendly T/O or merger would be difficult to conclude without knowing the result of Bara. Is there any other transaction the terms of which would have been difficult to agree without knowing the Bara outcome? Does it involve SC 63?
