The lowest price during the offer period was $6.20, with the price most days around $6.23. Most retail holders are with a major broker like CommSec/NABtrade etc. probably paying ~$20/trade, so saving ~7c/share buying on market but having to pay brokerage vs buying through offer probably only a difference of $50 for a standard retail-sized holding. Sure it's still waste but we're talking pretty small dollars.
Do you have a link to the AFR article? I tried searching for it but couldnt find it.
