The CEO told media that Ansa McAL wanted to acquire BHL since at least 11 years ago, but far more discreetly than what is happening now – which is why they sought the injunction to give all sides time to reconsider;-

With the temporary injunction, the Trinidad conglomerate Ansa McAl now has until November 11, to raise objections to the sale of the local beverage company.

BHL Attorney Barry Gale Queen’s Counsel said they were surprised by the move, particularly after the directors rejected calls by ANSA MCal for the board to challenge the contentious agreement in a meeting on October 27.

Gale cautioned the move will have implications for the company and shareholders.
