I assume VM will have a 19.9% stake in the enlarged 637m figure (current 537m plus the 100m VM are getting). That means that they can have up to 126m altogether. As they will already have 100m, they can buy 26m less any that they may have already bought already ( I think some II was loading up in January which may well have been them) and they will get some from the ousted small shareholders (don't know the figures as yet as to how many they prodcued).
Yes, as you say, they are paying well over the current price for the 100m and, what gives me plenty of hope, is that they are buying at that value expecting that there is going to be an upside to turn that into a tidy profit, otherwise what is their point of buying in?
Looking good here, imo. I always like to see IIs getting involved.
