"...What if, Teck's offer is not acceptable and CUU elects to approach other interested parties? The low profile approach could backfire for CUU with other parties. IMO."

In that event, unlikely as it is, I'm sure that other majors are just as capable of reading between the lines of the BFS as Teck is. They won't need the kind of hand-holding and explanation required by people like me. ;-)
