It is likely that any discussions will occur within the next few weeks.The third party concerned has had preliminary discussions with Roberts Family Nominees (RFN), the Group's largest securityholder. RFN has advised that no firm proposal was put to RFN in those discussions and it is not clear whether any proposal will be put. RFN has requested that if the third party has a proposal that it be submitted to the Board of Multiplex. If any proposal put to the Multiplex Board involves RFN, RFN will consider it. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
