My understanding is that MVT needs to make a takeover offer at 20%, otherwise there is a creep provision which allows MVT to accumulate 3% of MMX every 6 months.
If I look at the top Holders; MVT 17% Posco 13.45% Ayersland 12.7% (who have only just recently started to accumulate shares)
They hold over 43%. I suggest Sir Ron has these guy's on his side as they too would want to maximise the return from MMX and not accept what the board has offered.
