This TR1 today is excellent news.
For Antos to increase by another 4.21% over and above his Open-Offer entitlement is the only endorsement I require to confirm his intentions to pursue our desired RTO.
If Antos is with HL and he applied for an extra 758 million and he received 26.11% then he would have only received about an extra 197,913,800 but we know he received an extra 450,244,949.
Now if Antos received all his 450,244,949 additional shares in the Open Offer then he would have had to apply for 1,724,415,737 (1,724,415,737 * 26.11% = 450,244,949) this would have presented a problem.
Antos would have begun with 1,516,000,000 (758 million * 2) add in possible extra request of 1,724,415,737 if granted in full = 3,240,415,737 which on current shares is 30.39% and would be over the 30% limit for mandatory takeover.
I have to conclude that Antos would have only received between 10% and 26.11% of his excess request which can only mean that he has been buying in the open market and at prices of about 100% of the Open Offer price.
I believe in Antos and I am still of the opinion that he will facilitate an RTO.
Hopefully now we will see some director(s) leaving / joining.
Exiting times ahead.

PS I have not spoken to Antos recently but I will call and congratulate him after the market has closed.
