Q: How many shares am I likely to get under the PolicyHolder Offer (having preregistered)??

Preliminary Answer - for comment:
1. I assume that the overall Medibank Offer will be oversubscribed
2. given 1, then rules are "if over-subscribed, and scaling of Retail Applications is required, then Eligible PolicyHolders who pre-registered can be allocated up to 30% higher than"….some others
3. so I may get up to 30% than some others in Retail Offer
4. I think that 750k preregistrations were received by Comm Govt in total (memory, unchecked)
5. expected total Retail Offer applications would be say HALF of 750k (a guess, as I assume some won't follow through because of either don't like the business, or don't expect to get enough allocation to make it worthwhile, or just get lazy, or don't have $) - lets call it 350k applications.
6. Lets assume Govt allocates HALF of issue to "the public" - good politics is reasoning here (maybe more than half?)
7. Assume Issue price $2
8. So of $5.5B issue, $2.75B of shares are issued to 350k applicants - that would be roughly $8k each.
9. So if some applications are for less than $8k, and if PolicyHolders get %more than some others, maybe it is worthwhile applying for $10k as I may get them.
10. Also very likely to get $4-5k if I applied for that (even if I change some numbers in analysis above).
11. Probably unlikely to get >$10k as govt will scale-back these (to get wide distribution to public).

Open invitation to HC members now - shoot this logic down ( the size of my application cheque depends on it!)

In agreement with your assessment.
Originally thought of 20K but being realistic MAY go for 10K in hope getting 5k but more likely 3K; which in
scheme of things for me is really not worth it. Still may buy and go for extra after price settles down.

May also sell and make quick $500.
