Important notes: The share classes above are listed in order of entitlement to repayment of capital (after repayment first of any prior charges). For every split, there is a predetermined sequence in which the various classes of share are repaid. Although the entitlement or redemption value may be predetermined, this is not a guaranteed return and depends on the assets and revenue available within the trust.
Investors should be aware of the presence both during the life of the trust and at wind-up, of the rights and entitlements of any prior charges and of the various share classes within the split structure. The more complex the structure and the further down the chain of entitlement to repayment of capital the greater the potential return and risk.

and these sophisticated investors have taken a 19.9% stake in IHG....and they also have ties with Finmedia another of the sophisticated investors
in regards to GPG's subsiduary Sabatica pty tld,they released their substanial holders notice the other week...now with a total holding in IHG of 181,014,400 shares or 18.03% of IHG.the breakdown of this being-$5,151,835 for 130,933,400 shares = .039 avg.
and $12,355,227 for 50,081,000 shares = .2467 avg.
at a total of $17,507,062 for 181,014,400 shares = .0967 avg.
the above is the reason as to why we are still in this stock.why are these well respected investment firms willing to invest their shareholders money into a company such as IHG..between Ingot Capital Managment pty ltd and GPG pty ltd they have $23,710,262 invested in IHG and 37.93% of the shares ...it seems to me that these guys look for turn around compnaies get in at rock bottom and ride them up once they have one or more of their own sitting on the board....dont be surprised to see someone from Ingot on the board of IHG...........surely they can see something around the corner that perhaps some of the posters on H/C cant seem to see
