I am no means clued up on the legalities of bankruptcy, nationalisation and so forth, but my suspicion is that the shareholders want a temporary nationalisation to clear the debt (onto the taxpayer) before they get their asset back, debt free- so they can raise more debt to invest in the required infrastructure upgrades, and of course keep paying those sweet sweet dividends.
