Someone on SH read this release closer than I did and posted it today under the headline: "Could this be a hint?" He or she used bold faced type, which I have done also, to emphasize one particular sentence from the release.
I would add that as well as being familiar with takeover bids and the due diligence process involved in a merger or acqusition, Ms. Costa Lima is fluent in Spanish and Portuguese.
