Now I see ... I believe it relates to when their bid would expire and/or another bid be placed. See this release. cdn-news.com "Barrick has signed a lock-up agreement with certain shareholders and the directors of Arequipa, who together hold approximately 23 percent of the issued common shares of Arequipa, which commits them to tender their shares to Barrick's increased offer. J. David Lowell, Chairman of the Board of Arequipa, is among those who have agreed to tender their shares. The lock-up agreement will be terminated in the event of another bid exceeding $31.50 which Barrick does not match and a break-up fee of $18 million is payable to Barrick if another bid is successful." I'll look through the other releases to find more info. Qd
