The key thing is that it doesn't really matter (IMO) - regardless of the outcome and avenue taken, the acquisition will go through and the parties paid, it's only an issue of cash flow which can be recouped through a new resolution- it's just a compliance issue and my reading of the announcement indicates even the ASX aren't really concerned about it, having suggested the extension for waiver to be processed so all remains above board (and were comfortable for Vector announce it is a non-issue).

Frankly it's probably a blessing, gives people time to digest how big this actually is without it getting played as hard by traders and smart money on day one. This gives retail a real crack at getting in after they have the chance to properly research
