I presume the extract (below)from the 144 page announcement means - don't cash early wait and let it happen so as to maximise Capital Gains Relief????
(a) InterMet Shares with an inherent capital gain Rollover relief Under Australian taxation legislation, holders of InterMet Shares may be entitled to the benefit of “scrip for scrip” CGT rollover relief where the disposal of the InterMet Shares would otherwise realise an assessable capital gain. Broadly, CGT rollover relief under these provisions is available to InterMet Shareholders who exchange shares (acquired after 19 September 1985) in one company for shares in 31. another company where the transaction is made pursuant to a takeover bid and provided the “qualifying conditions” referred to in the next paragraph are satisfied. The “qualifying conditions” referred to are that Hillgrove must make an offer to all InterMet Shareholders to acquire their voting InterMet Shares and Hillgrove must become the owner of at least 80% of the voting InterMet Shares as a consequence of the Offer. CGT rollover relief would become available if Hillgrove acquired InterMet Shares such that after the Offer it owned at least 80% in number of all InterMet Shares. In these circumstances, an InterMet Shareholder that would otherwise realise a capital gain in respect of the disposal of its InterMet Shares pursuant to acceptance of the Offer, may choose to claim CGT rollover relief in respect of that disposal. If the pre-conditions for CGT rollover relief are satisfied, then those InterMet Shareholders who elect for it to apply should not be required to include any amount of capital gain in their assessable income in respect of the disposal of their InterMet Shares. For such InterMet Shareholders, the cost base of the New Hillgrove Shares, generally, will equal the cost base of their InterMet Shares. Furthermore, the time of acquisition of the New Hillgrove Shares by an InterMet Shareholder, will be the time of acquisition of the InterMet Shares by the Bidder, exchanged under this Offer
