I was referring to 'possible suitors', i.e. a company takeover. They would need to get something like 90% of the shares for a compulsory acquisition and I realise that will never happen because of Toyota Tsusho (unless it is them of course, but that has been discussed elsewhere). I think I was waxing lyrical more than being realistic.

I know selling into a share buy-back is voluntary. I don't necessarily support a share buy-back, I'm not sure they have a very good track record. Happy to be corrected though.

If I were management I'd be wondering which of the significant shareholder nominees is loaning out shares which are being used for shorting the company.
