Well in a spirit of reasonableness , you defo have a point.
Its so overly complicated and secret and deceitful, that also adds up.
Clearly this is a bargain style trade but it its defo possible a transfer of stock on T2 is equivalent to the normal cash settlement terms - not seen it before but I;m sure there's loads of reporting tricks we don't know about.
And being overseas, it means no TR.
The speed and inaccuracy of events - I think the trade was before the reported threshold crossing date - the 5th and 8th respectively, points to a pre-agreed transaction which adds gravitas to your theory.
The good news is they want the current price and given the parity of prices, its close.
