“Show me the incentive and I'll show you the outcome.” ― Charlie Munger

The directors were last year gifted the right to up to $8m personally if they settled the claim for more than $50m. The cash was on a reducing sliding scale and topped out at $8m at a circa $228m settlement. At a $50m settlement they get nil. At $60m they get about $2.1m. At $100m it’s $3.5m. Etc. If they won at trial they’d also get paid (though the calc differed somewhat), but if they lost at trial they’d get zero.

So any settlement level below $50m is not incentivised at all. To me that makes such a deal highly unlikely because they could instead roll the dice at trial for massive potential upside and zero potential downside.

My guess is thus $60m+; my expectation is a number very close to that; my hope of course is much more.

If the government has agreed to settle they will have to pay the value of the property? Fair and reasonable amount? When the property is somewhat valued at 3.9billion AUD I would hope 60 million is a ridiculous amount in my eyes

a reasonable and fair amount has to be somewhere 300plus million
