Diver Dan, just a reminder (in case you need one!), it's our Australia Day long weekend this weekend. The ASX is closed on Monday. And of course, we'd love our music theme to be anything Australian when you open the thread.

If I understand it correctly, seems like they are also effectively incentivizing people to sell some of their shares now and buy back if they believe the VWAP will not be 20% higher than the SP is when they sell. And yeah it would seem to also give incentive to the broker to manipulate the SP down as well. Add this to the list of things that happen on the ASX that make you shake your head at in disbelief.
I've been thinking about it and the only 2 possible reasons that I can think of are 1) they are truly desperate or 2) it's a strategic move. Something we will possibly not know until we are looking at it in hindsight.
