re: give it a break! yes..i have thought of the tax angle as well..as ihg have at least $46 million in accumilated losses...but i'm stumped as to how they could be useful to anyone unless they buy the company

i have done a bit of research on the 5 sophistictated investors and they all seem to be reptuable.and in one way or another they r all linked to each other..i wonder if this has any bearing.....from what i can gather from my research utilico for one has on occasions bought into a compnay,got one of its guys on the board,built the company up and then sold its share and existed...i wonder if the same may apply in this instance...it will be intersting to see if any of the 5 sophisticated investors get one of their own on the ihg board after the rights issue has been finalised.

cheers
