Certainly endorse above statement
There are a few possible important flaws in some of the comments.
1 ZETA does not necessary need a t/o of nzo. for full control of board.
2 Lots of negatives have accumulated over the years re: Management, probably contributing in large part for depressed S/P.
3 Economic climate may not have been as uncertain when other Co's launched a B/B.
4 O/P tracking steady lower, So short medium & quite likely long term outlook bleak. [ SO DOUBLE HIT ]
5 A major war, striking a gusher or miraculous world economic recovery short term needed to change that. Have another TUI!
6 Lots of SH's trying to get out, some maybe because no more Dividends in foreseeable future.
7 Hard to see the B/B having a lasting benefit
How the S/H's will fare if ZETA gains control of the board, Well any-bodys guess really.
