Seems like a reasonable deal, better than to invest excess cash in some mutual funds (20m iirc)

Implied valuation is 9.9% disc to the sale price $27m.

The disc is for minority stake disc or no confidence in closing disputed $27m sale?

Eastern probably very confident of closing the $27m sale or winning the lawsuit and
collecting enough damages.

Curious question. Does such increase of shareholdings in subsidiary result in goodwill over minority interest being added to the balance sheet?

There will be goodwill if purchase price of 7+m is above the minority interst (0.4m as of 31/3/13).
