I assume Australian law still applies to this stock?
Section 606 (Prohibitions) of the Corporations Act 2001 :
--------------------------------------------------------- "A person must not acquire a relevant interest in issued voting shares in a company if:
(c) because of the transaction, that person's or someone else's voting power in the company increases:
(i) from 20% or below to more than 20%; or (ii) from a starting point that is above 20% and below 90%.
However, the person may acquire the relevant interest under one of the exceptions set out in section 611 without contravening this subsection. "
Section 611 then proceeds to list those exceptions noted at the time we were discussing this, eg 3% every 6 months, DRP, conversion of preference shares, etc, But significantly :
611.1 An acquisition that results from the acceptance of an offer under a takeover bid."
