my recollection is that under the revised shares the Kirbys control just over half of the total, unless they have control indirectly of some other associated parties.
they could not raise the funds a couple of years ago, but my guess is that they will push for a max cash payout and then they will have 100 mil or so in the kitty for a buyout - but the question is what will they offer ?
this could be interesting.........
