make 4 cents per share no risk, page-4

zman,

It is not financial advice, it is simply a fact that if you bought before the shares went ex dividend you would receive a 12.0c fully franked dividend which means you also receive the 5.14c in franking credits.

This equates to 17.14c.

As I had previously mentioned, if you bought the shares in your self managed super fund in pension phase, you would have no tax to pay.

If you were worried about the 45 day rule then I suppose you would simply not accept the takeover offer but have them forcibly acquired. I would think that would take care of the 45 day problem.
