ML, Im not sure if it's a complusory acquisition. I think they (VMR) are just gauranteeing the purchase of the full amount. Like an underwriting but you can choose not to sell.
Having said that, the other option would be to buy a few more on market and get the parcel above $500 just to be sure.
But the 5.2c was a premium before relisting. And although it has spiked it wouldnt be economical to sell extra small parcels like <$200. So it is still better to except the brokerage free 5.2c
It's also better for other holders as it minimises dilution if some of the 19.9% comes from existing shares and not new shares.
Overall it was an excellent outcome. And they promise on market buying for even more support.
