shareholders stop complaining, page-37

Sorry SJB diddnt see that post,

1. Institutions from time to time will own a controlling stake in most ASX200 companies, its just how the market works, accept it, as if a insto raising was not held, then whos to say an insto cant buy on market a contraolling stake.

2. In the critial situation the comapny was left in left wouldnt it be more of a priority for the companys overall survival? otherwise shareholders would end up with nothing?

3. I belive the board are acting in the companys overall interest by raising capital at a quick & inexpensive as possible. Again, retail share holders will be offered a SPP down the track after the proposed insto raising.

4. Yes it is, would you rather risk trying to roll over debt that is due to mature in the near future? im not sure if you have tried to apply for a commercial loan recently but it is very difficult and even tho our stock market has recovered slightly i and many other still beleive debt markets could take some time to heal. Management are clearly not risking this one. Again they are acting in the companys best interest.

5. This idea is a more expensive alternative and a low acceptance from retail investors may scare off the instos. Remember instos dont have to be a large corporate brand, they can also be private high net wealth individuals.

6. Refer to my comments above.

7. Raising capital before debt is about to mature is a dangerous game to polay in this market. Think about it, shorters would jump all over the stock forcing AIO to hold a cap raising at a depressed price, further diluting the company.



Thanks,
