My guess is that this has been in the planning for some time and that all the recent developments have been made with this in mind.
I would also dare to suggest that the recent good financial results have been, to some extent, "designed" to fall in line with the desired outcome.
Even though there are standardised accounting rules the numbers can be reported in different ways and things like depreciation and marketing expenses etc can be skewed to help get a desired financial outcome.
In my experience, the investing company quite often gets a few surprises when they actually take control and due diligence can only get you so far.
The family will have known what outcome they wanted for some time now.
Agreed.
