to evaporate the company Explanation: or to devoid the co. of its financial resources I think it's rather to do with financial resources than with the company's ability to act/do business although availability of the former is a precondition to the latter. Sentence: Within the scope/range of options permitted by law, it will take several years to..." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-07 14:04:58 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- another option: to suck financial resources out of the company -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-07 14:09:20 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Agree with Ralf above that a little more context would help, however disgusting it may be. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-07 14:27:53 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Admittedly, Klaus\'s options given below are good because of \"assets\", which encompasses a bit more than only the financial side (tangible assets, plant & equipment...) |

drain / bleed the company dry Explanation: Without more context this is a bit of a wierd one ... do you not have anything which gives us more of an idea of what they are trying to do? HTH anyway Mary -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-07 15:54:03 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Given the broader context you provide, this seems to make sense. They are worried that the employee might try it on if they don\'t buy the shares back. Klaus\'s \'asset-stripping\' option is also good! |
