Yes but I won't put in much as I am expecting scaling so I will invest what I think I am likely to get.
How much do you think it will get scaled?
Who knows? The company's founders still dominate the register despite the recent sell-down. Whether or not there are sufficient other shareholders, sufficiently enthusiastic about the issue, is the question. On the other hand, it's not a very big issue and there is still a healthy discount from the market price.
It's a healthy discount from the market price but a lot more than I paid for my original shares so I won't be going overboard with my bid!
I think a lot of people are running out of money with all the SPP around so it probably may not be hugely oversubscribed???
Really interested to see what the level of scaling is... still a week to wait I guess
Anyone else jumping in? The share price is dropping and I am beginning to wonder if it will dip below the offer price!

Directors are jumping in (buying on market)...
David Flacks - Chairman - spent $77k at $3.87 to increased the number of AFT shares he holds by 14% to 165,431
Jon Lamb - spent $47k at $3.85 to increase the number of AFT shares he holds by 6% to 220,077
Not sure if they'll also be participating in SPP or not... but regardless, clearly keen to hoover up shares at sub $4.
AFT didn't even put out an NZX announcement late last week to kindly remind everyone that the SPP was closing on Friday 26th June...
Hard not to have confidence in AFT really!
SPP allocations should be known Wednesday next week.

Do not think they really needed to.
A tad over 530000 shares being offered to just over 900 share holders.
I trust my ask doesnt get scaled back too much... have high hopes for AFT
I think my application was #360 so I don't think many shareholders applied. I applied at 5:30pm NZT
I didn't apply for a high amount as I thought it would be oversubscribed. Maybe not??
I applied on the 22nd, my number was #233.
Maybe retail investors don't have a heap of spare cash in their pockets atm.
I have to admit I am splashing cash around a lot less than I was a couple of weeks ago. Too many opportunities...
I applied for the same number of shares x$3.75 that I already have as I figured I wouldn't be likely to be allocated any more than that. Maybe I undercooked it but the share price isn't a lot more than the offer price right now.
Same here Tango, If I get my full allocation I've double my holding. I think its the wrong time ( COVID-19 ) for owners to be selling down, disagree with it completely. It shows they see the company as overvalued. Don't want to put too much skin into this one.
Cant really begrudge a small sell down, also given the need to cash out one of the early investment funds. Personally I'm pretty happy that there will be a little bit more liquidity and will be interesting to see how the COVID phase coupled with winter flu season helps sales...
The owners are selling less than 1 million shares... out of 73 million shares they own... aka virtually nothing... maybe want to go and build a deck perhaps... the large majority of the selldown is done by a specialist US fund (CRG) who invested in AFT in 2014, have made a decent chunk of coin, and now wishing to exist - fair enough... but it really isn't the 'owners' selling down (much)... they still own a near ridiculous percentage of the company and I'm sure they'll happily sell down a few million more (via placement) when the share price is $7 or $10 in a few years time ;)
The liquidity increase should mean AFT is more attractive to many.
