There was an announcement about the timetable for the consolidation:
http://www.universalresources.com.au/reports/20100205CombinedSchemeandConsolidationTimetable.pdf

There is a code URLDA for the consolidated (10:1) shares, under deferred settlement trading from the 8th Feb (mentioned on 5/2/10 ASX announcement) but I saw no trades under this yet. I think you get your consolidated URL shares back around 19th, and normal trading on the consolidated shares not until 22 Feb.

At the same time the URL shares for the Vulcan takeover are being issued, so market cap goes up, and more people trading. Depending on peoples reactions to the take over there may be a temporary drop in the new URL price as holders exit positions, but I think it will go back up when it finds support as the new company is a far more attractive prospect to new prospective holders.

All from info on the URL and ASX sites!

Cheers
