confirmed with mre record date is 10th nov ...

I received an email from the MRE Company Secretary that is shown below. Pls do your own research ... but my understanding is that MRE can be bought on Monday and the shares will be on the companies share register in time to participate in the Rights Issue.

Purchase on Monday then (as per the automated CHESS process used by the ASX) even if you take into consideration the Melb cup then T+3 will be Friday 7th (cut off is Mon 10th at 5pm). I understand this is an automated transaction into the companies share register.

I hope this helps people with their understanding of the process and the need to do a little more research ... there were a lot of people on HC saying today was the last day to access the Rights Offer ... maybe that is right, but I am not convinced after my email response directly from the MRE Company Secretary.

If I have missed something, I would appreciate some gentle guidence ...
