Ann: Half-Year Results - Release and Presentation, page-5

Yeah, I read that earlier on The Australian daily emails.

Very interesting article. The author somewhat simplify how hard it would be to actually issue enough equity to get them over the line a little. They'd likely need shareholders approval on that amount of Script, and then you still have a heap of minority investors complicating everything and making noise on Governance.

Easiest would probably be to wrap-up Myer into the Premier stable, then restructure everything exactly as you want it to be. Myer Market Cap is still relatively small, and they own 30% anyway.

The other interesting bit is they haven't bought their 3% this half, even though they are entitled. Could be a sign they have material information that is stopping them from dealing in the stock. That's just a guess.
