The shareholder rights plan effectively extends that standstill agreement, the person close to Rio said, as well as threatening dilution of its Ivanhoe stake. 据这位知情人士表示,股东权利计划实际上是延长了这份暂停收购协议的期限,同时还有可能稀释力拓持有的艾芬豪股权。
Rio is also blocked from mounting a full takeover bid for the Canadian miner through a standstill agreement but that deal expires next year. 根据一项暂停收购协议,力拓目前还无法对艾芬豪发起全面收购,但该协议将于明年到期。
Moderate this risk by deferring payment to existing shareholders but also negotiate a standstill agreement with the larger creditors. 缓解这种风险的做法是,推迟付款给现有股东,并且与主要债权人协商一份暂停偿付协议。
A standstill agreement from 2006 expires in 2011, theoretically releasing Rio from an obligation that caps its Ivanhoe investment at about 47 per cent of shares. 一项自2006年起生效的暂停收购协议将于2011年到期,理论上,届时力拓将不再受对艾芬豪投资上限为持股约47%的约束。
A standstill agreement typically restrains companies from buying shares in other companies for a specified period of time. 所谓的“停滞协议”主要是禁止双方在某段特殊时间内购买其它公司的股票。
