As I understand it, if Thames Water had not got the loan to bail it out then if it had gone into administration the government could have taken it over without compensation; now it is effectively a going concern shareholders et al would have to be compensated. If British Steel is no longer a viable company according to its Chinese owners then presumably it will effectively go into administration and can be acquired by the government. I suppose they may agree to pay a 'peppercorn' amount to acquire it to avoid the complexity of an administrator? One would need advice from a mergers and acquisition specialist for that - not an IT person who's just watched M&S from the sidelines. |
