All guesswork JR

Chairman said on November 17:
"As a consequence the Board has been in active discussion with a number of parties aspiring to access the shell and in addition is speaking with a number of highly regarded stockbrokers on the same matter"

So they were already in "active discussion" two and a half months ago. Along with the current buying, we can only guess it might not be too far off.

Some possibilities include:
Flavel/WOOD
Steinepreis brothers
Accent Capital
Other private company
