Ann: ASX Announcement - response to media speculation, page-30

"I am wanting to see the quarterly as I think we will see quite a bit more cash in teh bank with teh increased interest rates and reduced costs in the business"

I assume you mean Corporate Cash, because I strongly suspect Client Cash will show further declines, which is going to be a Revenue headwind in coming periods (unless interest rates continue to rise even further, which I doubt)

"We then have to hope for a second buyer or Stake just accepting to stump up"

Yes, here I agree with you; 17.5c is a mere sighting short.

I think scope exists for a higher bid, either by Stake formalising their offer - probably by a reverse takeover, but that will need pressure to be brought to bear by SWF shareholders on their Board (or even by the emergence of an interloper).
