This has probably been covered somewhere - but does anyone know when the payout for the shares is due to come through? I have completed my bank account details update. Thanks

This one was a great loss for the NZX. Us retail shareholders were treated badly when it was sold and it hurt to see it being "stolen" away from us

It was good while it lasted though, depending on timing. Sorry to see it go.

Yes it sure was. Was my biggest holding and it was agonising to have to let it go

Yeah, when it crashed it took a few deep breaths as to why (no good reason) and moreso to get some more at the time, but that worked out well. That was before the rug got pulled out from beneath us, then end-of, it's all over, nothing we can do.

I don't invest in these types anymore, and am looking to exit the few that I still do have when the time is right.

Like most nzx stocks that grow so nicely. They get snapped up by overseas companies for a bargain and at the time it seems like bought at a surplus

Perhaps it has grown much more strongly than if it had stayed listed in NZ. NZ maybe does not want to look after its growth companies. I was sad to see my investment go.
