Could be intresting Seek.


I am fairly confident the trading halt, referred to as 'pending corporate transaction on EME', is either of the following:


1. TKO offer for EME

2. JRL have finally found a buyer for their EME stake (refer Nov 2008 chairman's address where they flagged this occurring this year).


Obviously I would prefer the first scenario, since that would be a significant TKO premium.


TKO premiums average around 20% to 25%, however given how many EME shares are controlled by EME directors, and JRL, you would think they could squeeze quite a bit more out of any suitor if they negotiated a price at which they would agree to the TKO.


Either way, if any of the above two eventuate, I would expect a significant amount would be returned to JRL shareholders, again as flagged in Nov 08 chairman's address.
