AH yes balance!
777, I understand they can lapse and the underwriters step up. But, I was thinking more holistically in that people are buying AIR to participate in this 'special' deal to acquire more at $0.53*2. I just think that with a higher OCR and higher interest rates coming, people doing this on their equity are going to hurt and young people buying AIR who don't have oodles of capital are going to get burnt.
At the end of April, if the underwriters pick up any do you think they are long term holders? FFS.NZX holders will remember the underwrites keeping the price at $0.20 for a very long time.
No requirement for shorts to cover (unless explicitly stated in their short agreement)? If you are short as it goes ex rights you essentially are now short 2 extra shares at 53c for each 1 you own (i.e. you need to buy back on market 3 shares instead of 1 at some point).
