My head is really hurting on all the details here - guess it's best to wait to see what EUR announces in due course - tomorrow I would assume.
I found below online just now.
Hard to get one's head around but we might not be trading again under the current EUR code as it seems we may be issued shares in the new entity on a pro-rata type basis on the basis of EUR being worth US$750M or around 9 X the current Market cap (undiluted) of EUR.
TBH, it would suit me if we did not trade until the re-listing on the NASDAQ with the much higher market cap and valuation.
This is a fascinating and steep learning curve as I've never had a company taken over this way. I hope it all works out and goes smoothly.
Hopefully this turns into a "labour of love" finding out all about how this works and assuming we are about to make some very tidy gains.
