It seems you're all jumping on the coat tails of one (fairly unimpressive) activist investor. I think you all need to dyorCan someone give me a coherent reason why they think this deal is bad for roc shareholders? Note, I think it's transformative and the market seems to agree (both roc and HZN up around 10pc since announcement). "47.65c for ROC not 67.5c today or the 69c offer which you suggest is too low!'corporate raider' you said, who've actually held ROC for more than 5 years I was informed, fancy that Allan Gray mob still holding ROC months later and saying this today..."... which has been welcomed by Roc’s largest shareholder Allan Gray. Allan Gray portfolio manager Simon Marais said on Monday he “would be supportive” of the all-cash offer, which is priced at 69¢-per-share and is conditional on just 50.01 per cent acceptances."

It's not necessarily bad, but we do lose the cash in the bank and the franking credits. A fully franked dividend thrown in would have made the deal so much better.
