UPDATE: Murray agrees to sell to Whyte


Recommended Posts

Frankie, Bluedel, would Murray not be tied to exclusivity as part of the process with Whyte?

 

I'm not as convinced as MF that exclusivity would necessarily be granted. I could see Murray refusing to grant it as it's the sort of guy he appears to be.

 

I've come across cases in the past when the seller feels he's in a strong position and it's not been given. However you would normally expect it to be available.

I can't see Murray doing anything which might limit his options although was there a period of exclusivity mentioned around the due diligence? I seem to remember some mention of it then.

 

Results look awful for MIH as well. Under normal circumstances I'd say this was more smoke and mirrors to deflect from those results, but with all the activity over the last 4 or 5 days it looks like various parties are trying to force the hands of others.

You're quite right, it's not always granted. However, very few (I've never seen one) deals would get to an indocative offer let alone DD without it. I can't believe Whyte would have come to the table without an exclusivity agreement signedand sealed.

I've been involved with one. Just completed DD, about to finalise financing of an agreed 9 figure purchase for a client (many years ago) and an American company swoops in and purchases the subject for cash. A real kick in the teeth.
