Special Report No. 94 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency Sale of Project Eagle (Resumed)
10:00 am
Mr. Patrick Long:
No, we did not. We did for project Octopus but we did not for project Isobel. On project Isobel, as for project Eagle, the seller wanted the process to be confidential for as long as possible and did not want investors, or anyone, frankly, to know about the process until we were ready to approach investors. It is typically the case that there is some kind of tender process but it is certainly not unprecedented.
