if they had realised then the price would have dropped on 16/9/05 - which was the effective "X" date. (no one after 15/9/05 date can buy the 76c shares)
this retrospectivity should be illegal as it discriminates against certain shareholders and not others.
Also people who sold between 16/9/05 and 20/9/05 are also eligible to buy even though they sold before the announcement.
How unfair!!!!!
