Umbra, I like thought process. Form, 5 fictitious companies controled by SNP, buy 5% each on the open market at .3 over time. If you were to buy out the stock for $5 you would save approximately $860 Millions. Nice.
The only thing is that it takes a long time to buy that amount of stock, so they would have had to start a long time ago!
I do not anticipate anyone going public about the 5% - just accumulating the 5% as the price is right and shares are available at targeted price. Share volume hasn't been large enough for buyers to be pushing up price - I am thinking this is a long term plan & maybe why there asking for these extensions
