Who said anything about a hostile takeover? How about a very good, high multiple price given for the assets FQM feels they need to acquire to ensure their $6.2 billion investment is safe?
IMO that is just a rational, non-hostile requirement for any company investing that kind of money into another country. It's just good business. It's not just the big shareholders looking for an adequate return, it's ALL shareholders. If Pascal sweetens the deal enough everybody should be happy. We need to hope Fifer allows him to do that as Progafa has noted.
