WOW! The keywords 'prior to'. They're inviting people to provide acceptance instructions to the IAF ... AND take the RISK of not being able to withdraw their acceptance PRIOR TO OZ sending confirmation letter to the IAF.
Here's the thing, if there's a second bid coming in AVB is obliged to tell OZL about it. It's part of their no shop, no talk, no due diligence sell out their soul agreement. So as soon as OZL sniffs a superior bid coming all it takes is a little delay from AVB in announcing the superior bid. In fact they don't even have to do anything that is apparently illegal. All they have to do is go back and forth a little with the second bidder while having informed OZL. That would give OZL ample time to send out the confirmation letter to the IAF and lock in all those IAF acceptances.

Don't forget some event-driven fund managers will be warehousing some shares. I assumed they were the big buyers on the T/O announcement. IMHO it's going to be a close run thing for control. Please do throw you pies and refuse at me now (I have my shields up).
