The independent director said they took that decision “so that the Richmond board and management can focus on the 2004 financial year in what is expected to be a more competitive sheepmeats trading environment,” reported Dow Jones International News.
They added that they had also taken into consideration PPCS’ pledge to offer NZ$3.11 per share for the remaining Richmond shares, if the ruling is allowed to stand.
The Richmond directors added, however, that the so-called “Bell Group” of shareholders is considering whether to appeal against the ruling.
