They have been extremely quiet about who fell on the sword here. I would expect that eventually this would have to be disclosed through SEDAR but the small nature of it might allow them to keep it silent.
I also have difficulty understanding how this could be a penalty PP. Who would promise to vote shares in such a way that they would be fined/lose by the court system?...'I promise to vote my shares with you and if I don't I'll pay you $2.75 per share for x shares' Does this pass the smell test?
This seems more plausible to me... 'We want to buy FWR and will outbid you to the end. You back off & we'll make it worth your while and give you some $ to bring in the deep drills for the nickel that we could also use to produce stainless steel'
This one has me shaking my head. Has anyone got the real dirt here?
