From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.JULIAN TREGER and Brian Myerson, two South African investors, are expected to announce a rescue proposal for Greycoat, this week, writes David Hellier.
The proposal is likely to offer the stricken property company's preference shareholders at least 50 per cent more than the earlier rescue proposal from Postel, the BT and post office workers' pension fund, which was rejected by Greycoat's preference shareholders.
The two men, who speak for 18 per cent of the ordinary shares of Greycoat and a small holding in the preference class through their management of an investment vehicle, the UK Active Value Fund, are being advised by Samuel Montagu, the merchant bank. They are seeking a proposal acceptable to all four classes of Greycoat's shareholders and bondholders.
The proposal appears to be the only serious approach to have reached Greycoat's board.
