>LFB should pony up $$ to get to 19.9%, before any US 'potential partners' feel any other inkling than to vulture.<
LFB is contractually limited to 19.9% of the actual shares outstanding rather than 19.9% of the fully-diluted share count I use for valuation purposes. Hence, LFB is already at or very close to their ownership limit.
