What does this all mean? Well, if Beppa convert at 1.78xBBI at any point before 2012 the overall impact to BBI holders is 0. Make a spreadsheet and see bbi=6c, beppa=10.7c (6c*1.78) bbi=12c,beppa=21.4c...etc
im in the camp that believes beppa wont convert, or doesnt need to. But IF you are of the view that beppa MUST convert, then i would be thinking along those lines.
Anything under 1.8xBBI conversion=win for BBI
Anything over 1.8xBBI conversion=loss for BBI,though could be other benefits.
So clearly BBI know that is the magic number, and any conversion offer will be around that figure(perhaps 2x, a slight premium).
I would be pricing beppa accordingly at circa 1.78xBBI, if i thought conversion was likely. as you can see bbi@12, [email protected] is a distinct possiblity.
