Forth Ports will sit down with a consortium looking to takeover the company despite rejecting two bids this year.
On revealing a return to profit in 2009 Forth says it will meet its suitors in their capacity as shareholders.
Forth, which owns seven UK ports, posted an operating profit of £36.3m ($54.72m) in 2009 to eliminate memories of a £30.7m loss 12 months ago.
