As a holder of both AVO and DIO, I think there is a good deal to be done. If the DIO directors recommend the bid, it will be all done and dusted very quickly. I reckon that will happen if AVO increases its offer to 1 for 2 - it won't have a huge impact on AVO to increase shares on issue by another 10m, but will make a big difference to attitude of DIO shareholders, who can't go past the valuation of Frogs Legs in the KPMG report and as measured by $ per oz in the ground.
Price before the bid is irrelevant now.. clearly AVO see the value, and why would they want to own less than all of the company.
