Hi there,if you did not formally accept the Offer for your QGC...

Hi there,
if you did not formally accept the Offer for your QGC shares prior to the Offer formally closing, you will have to WAIT until your shares are compulsorily acquired. There is a court process involved in this compulsory acquisition process. I am sure it takes at least one month between close of offer and comp acq.
that is why, when BG got their 90% all s/h s/have accepted the BG offer- BG said that if s/h did not accept, then those s/h would have to wait for their money.
Those s/h who did accept, i think got paid in 5 days.
I was in a similar situation once and waited about 2 months for my money.
I think that BG cannot accept (any pay for) any shares once the Offer is formally closed.
cheers
