Basically if you buy them today, you will not be registered until Monday. So will not make that date.
Ironic that people are bailing out though, because though it looks likely it seems this isn't a done deal until the EGM. Apparently the motion has to carry at 70%, so it seems a little bit odd that people would bail out. Seems a case of counting your chickens before they have actually hatched. It maybe a case that people actually value their holdings (And potential) at higher then the two pence.
