Let's use your example breakdown but a price of $1 a share and 100,000 shares.

FFX - $35,000 (35%)
LLL - $65,000 (65%)

But you only get 1 LLL for each 1.4 FFX, so you will now have 71,428 shares of LLL and 100,000 shares of FFX.

So each FFX share now has a cost base of 35c instead of $1 - easy.

Do the LLL shares have:
a) A cost base of 65c per share (or "each LLL share will have a cost base of 65% of your average cost base for your FFX shares")
b) A total cost base for all shares of $65,000 = 91c a share cost base (or "your total LLL shares will have a total cost base equivalent to 65% of your total cost base for your FFX shares")

Presumably it has to be (b)?

At that point I'm not sure the split really matters as such in the long-term from a tax payable perspective (will affect timings and potentially what is a loss vs gain on paper, but should in theory net out?) but it may have the potential psychologically to drive buy/sell behaviour for a period of time.

Addendum to the above: a lot of people are presumably going to have the wrong cost base showing up on their broker tool for a time. Will that potentially affect psychology of trades too?Demerger indicative market capitalisation split as at 28 April

My previous calculation is obviously wrong. Yeah its complicated and we need the ATO ruling for a definitive allocation of the cost base between the two companies.

In the presentation, The Demerger indicative market capitalisation split was as at 28 April 2022 = 96.5c = $1.136B MCap FFX
FFX are distributing 80% of LEO to shareholders. I think the cost base will need to reflect this, maybe as a Guess

LEO = 65% = $738m less 20% held by FFX = $590m= 49c of the FFX SP represents the cost base of the LEO shares and the balance represents FFX cost base.
