Dogby, exactly right, in my uneducated opinion, current unit holders are getting a pour deal - 20 cents below current NTA - at the bottom of the market, while challenger is in a position to benefit from improved market condition in the future, or from the gradual sale of properties at fair value. Even allowing for a further decline in property value, I don't think it will reach a level to the equivalent, what current holders will get out of this deal. One needs to keep in mind, that the value of the properties have been written down substantially over the last couple of years. Annoying as well, is the obvious leak of an imminent deal to insiders a day before the trading halt. Have we seen the last of CWT? Maybe not. There is always the possibility of a re-float in years to come with a nice premium attached for Challenger and CKLS.
The above is my personal opinion only!
