Analysts however have been doubtful about the chances of the merger coming off. The institutional investors in Jutrzenka are certainly in favour of the merger, but they have to persuade the company president and the employee shareholders who stand behind him and hold 52% of shares,” said CDM Pekao analyst Bogna Sikorska.
