SOL is a very good company with some of the best managers in town... I wonder if the 19.9% going to SOL is 100% deliberate (putting the remainder of the take-over well and truly in SOL's hands, and making the controlling interest easy to take) and the remaining 24.05% go for much closer to the current share price (or higher), as there will be competing offers.

From the statements both SOL and HHL have released it would seem that Hall really wanted the managed funds in strong hands. There are not many hands stronger than SOL's on the ASX - so bit of converse thinking - this could end up positive if we peer 5yrs forward.
