Fortescue: Twiggy’s Share Separation

• Prior to recent developments, Andrew Forrest held a 36.25% stake in Fortescue Metals (FMG AU).

• An ASIC shareholder disclosure into the giant iron-ore miner earlier this year fuelled speculation, culminating in an ASX notice Andrew was separating from his wife after 31 years of marriage. 

• A private statement assures there will be no impact on the control of FMG. But that won't put a stop to the rumour mill.
