    So, if Buyback Market Price is $20.52 with a 14% discount…. You will be 0.17c a share WORSE OFF versus simply selling it on market today. Plus you’d have to wait almost a year to get the $2.70 franking credit refund so that you achieve that 17 cent loss.

    Remember that CBA achieved a 14% discount in their buyback. So I’m guessing the ####### board thought they could manage that feat as well.

    (###### = insert the adjectival phrase of your choice here to best describe their brilliance)

    The way the SP is plummeting, they will be better cancelling this ill conceived buyback and announcing a special dividend instead. After all, the only reason they have extra cash for this buyback is because they cancelled dividends last year.
