If rumor was a small payment, say $0.05-$0.10.
Just a few cents now and a three or four year warrant at a very attractive price for FQM; the share price would not move, and in fact could go down. Such an offer would be very attractive to large stockholders. No taxes, a few cents to cover current costs, small cash cost to FQM now, an opportunity to cash in for large stockholders, in a few years, after Cobre Panama is in operation. No more stress about expansion, POG, etc., etc.. Time to move on to other interests. Management would become in-house for FQM and maybe a board seat.
