FAQ

Why Bullish?

The sale improves financial position and liquidity. Historical examples show asset sales often lead to stock price appreciation if proceeds are reinvested wisely.

How important is it?

The transaction enhances liquidity and demonstrates strategic asset management, directly affecting investor confidence and pricing.

Why Short Term?

Immediate cash influx could allow for reinvestment or debt reduction. However, fleet reduction poses long-term risks in capacity.
