Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 5597082, member: 622"] That's part of my point. UU is already losing money, now they will add the loss of a share of revenues to Otro. In exchange, they get a one time payment of $500M. The payback depends on the actual terms which I have not found in my limited search. Once the payback is done, there is no end to paying Otro it's share, unlike a loan which is paid back with interest and then done with forever. From Otro's perspective, once they get their initial investment back, it's all gravy. From UU's perspective this is a "forever loan" that never pays off the interest. The net effect for UU is a permanent loss of Otro's share for the one time payment. This is akin to selling a birthright for a bowl of porridge. [/QUOTE]
