Ok here's an example. (I'm totally making this up). Head of sales, Tim, travels down to Jamaica. They have a meeting to discuss current and future sales. Digicel says they can not meet their projections. Tim then says, ok we are going to pull your exclusivity. That is a development which could impact the share price. At that EXACT moment, a trading halt is required because information has been given to someone (digicel reps), but not everyone else. If the digicel folks were BUD holders, or had friends that hold, they could effectively sell before the rest of the market knows. So BUD asks for a trading halt to write up the paperwork and prepare a response. If it takes longer than two days they go into suspension. That's how it is suppose to work, but there is always grey area and so not every company follows the same steps. But with the ASX watching BUD I don't blame them for being cautious and going into a TH/suspension for anything they think is material but has not been finalized or announced.

DPR, you example is valid and I accept that to be the case. It is your last point that is the concern, this is the primary reason for the TH, nothing else and TH will not prevent the SP from rising or falling. I am sure DM is hoping the 4c will stop a slide in SP or this acquisition will be exciting. We will know more in next 15mins
