The Final Package Deal

Abstract

After all these months of conceptual thinking, basic planning, argument, discussion, and negotiations — ranging from Cabinet Minister level through some of the top City names and right down to the shop floor — just what was the deal the Consortium was offering at the end of the day? Who exactly was eligible to buy shares and on what terms, and what businesses and management were they buying for their money? What conditions were attached to share purchase, and perhaps most important of all, what sort of return could shareholders reasonably expect on their investment: were they likely to see capital appreciation on their shares, and what was the likely income in prospect from dividends paid out on their shares?

Offer for Subscription to employees and their immediate families and pensioners of National Freight Company Limited of up to 6,187,500 ‘A’ Ordinary Shares payable in full on application.
