The major shareholders who are rich have more sense than to let a company devalue itself before getting rid of their shares. They didn't get rich by throwing money down the drain. If a company is seen to be going down the pan who is going to take the risk of buying shares at an high price? The big shareholders have to protect their investment. The funds raised by the sale of broadcast is only a drop in the ocean at the side of investors current share value. Any savings made by the actions just reported are miniscule at the side of the companies worth. Have a look at the big shareholders and the value of what they own of NTLI.
