[wink] Does this mean there is just an Purchase and Sale agreement in the works. Your article says "the closing" will be August 5th. Can you please clarify where in the process this sale is?
Also I'm trying to find out when the original post was created, was it posted in the CDS? Or do you know elsewhere?
