"why are peoples sellings at 35 cents when the takeovers price is 45 cents?"
A lot of people would be cementing a profit (no matter how small). They would find too much risk in waiting a few months for 45c. No firm confirmation of CDB funding is holing the price back imo, if funding was certain then the sp would be trading closer to 45c (41c-44c)
Still a few more boxes to be ticked for this saga to de-risk further.
Only after the boxes are ticked (Conventions, CBD funding are the big two) will we see another bidder arise IMO.
Market is still factoring in some uncertainty.
