Hello B B,
Have another look at what I wrote:-
"""If the deal goes through at C$1.95 lets hope the value of the C$ slumps against the UK£."""
As you say """At the moment £1 = C$1.6493 so C$1.95 = £1.1823""" Given this scenario 30,000 Ithaca shares is worth, 30,000 x £1.1823 = £35,469.
Lets imagine the UK£ v C$ is as follows:- The C$ falls against the UK£.
£1.00 = C$1.60. Delek offer price =C$1.95. Therefore C$1.95 at an exchange rate of C$1.60 = £1.21875.
Which means that 30,000 Ithaca shares at £1.21875 = £36,562.50. This is an increase of £1093.50 on the value of 30,000 shares.
The above is the reason I hope the C$ slumps against the UK£.
