However, there are some residual issues with the 15 holders that exit, whether they sell on the market or accept to the offer is unknown. However, I do have a concern that those companies might have signed in to the bid offer. Even though, their shares might not added to RG's account yet, but it seemed they might have been frozen in a pending account belong to RG's (my guessing) waiting for the Take Over Panel's decision before transferring to his account. Why do I say so? Because their exiting date is grouped in a few designated date. If any members could clarify this matter would be appreciated. Here are the details

As I stated earlier, Mornington Australia has exited on the 18th March with their holding of 139 100 shares. Whether they sold on market or accepting to the offer and whether they could eligible to reverse their decision through ASIC relief is unknown to me.

Two individuals has exited on the same date 19th March with holding of 18450 and 18 612 shares respectively.

JuroCorp has exited on the 20 March with holding of 17 000 shares

An individual from New Zealand has exited on the 26th March with holding of 20 000 shares

Fortuna investments (Aust) has exited on the 28th March with holding of 150 000 shares

Trustrum Investments has exited on the 28th March as well with holding of 100 000 shares

Navigator Australia Ltd has exited on the 28th March too with holding of 24 119 shares

Hobson Wealth Custodians (from New Zealand) has exited on the 2nd April with holding of 37 500 shares

* So the question here is can those companies and investors claim their shares back during these period if they change their minds?
