    regularASX,

    Yes, you are correct, I do not have to sell them all in one hit.
    If I did have to sell them, then I would probably sell them over the course of a few years, so as to keep my taxable income down.

    As I understand the tax law; if a takeover is paid in kind with shares of the company that is doing the takeover, then that is not classed as a CGT event, but rather, the shares rollover. Though I would need to study up on that to be sure.

    But this is something to think about more as I near legal retirement age (quite awhile to go yet.) Many governments will come and go in that time, and so too the laws will change with the wind.
