I was thinking along the lines of Tullochs being majority shareholder with approx 750,000 shares and approx 860,00 unissued shares available, then any consortium buying these would become majority shareholder. With the new injection from existing shareholders of approx ?250.000, I'm assuming that the unissued shares now available would be less than 750.000 thus preventing any consortium from becoming majority share holders unless, as you say, the new consortium buy all the shares and the existing shareholders are speculating that, having bought more shares now, then they will get a better return on their investment should this happen.
