I can't agree with your statement when looking at the pr below:- "First it does not say they are increasing the O/S"
It was posted here a while back that it took 68m for the first 40% so I presume that it will take another 68m to complete the second 40%, that will mean a potential increase overall of 136m shares from an original 589m, a 22% (approx) increase. How is that not going to increase the O/S and affect the pps/eps/market cap? Although the shares will very quickly become accretive (contracts/revenues permitting) the O/S will increase and it's disingenuous to suggest otherwise IMO. How they are going to sort the 51% ownership problem is something I can't work out as preferreds aren't in the deal as I understand it. (you yourself suggested that earlier I think)
