A spokesman for Australia's Gunns Ltd. (GNS.AU) declined to
comment Friday about the emergence of Bank of America Corp. (BAC)
on the forestry company's share register.
Bank of America filed a substantial shareholder notice late
Thursday that showed it holds 40.94 million shares of Gunns. The
5.07% stake was built through a series of on-market transactions
mostly in March and April.
Asked whether there has been any contact between the two
companies, Gunns' spokesman said, "We don't comment on discussions
with shareholders."
Nor did the spokesman shed any light on Bank of America's
intentions.
Gunns' share price collapsed in February, tumbling from a peak
at A$1.00 to open trading in March at 60 cents. The share price
closed Thursday at a 10-year low of 47.5 cents.
On Feb. 22, Gunns posted a A$420,000 net profit in the first
half of this fiscal year to June 30, down 98% on year.
