I bgt 20,000 of the shares at 217 a few days ago , got the offer papers yesterday and duly offered my shares to the canucks ... no voting paper though , so don't know what happened there ... IF and its a monster IF this goes thru then it will have been easy money. If it fails which is the more likely scenario then at current prices the shares offer great medium term value anyway at $2.27 ( I'm already up 10c/sh plus there is a 5.75c/sh divi on the way as well ) , looks like a good bet to me.

You only get the right to vote if you held the shares prior to a certain date in December.

Unlike the acceptance figure which only has to " reach" its target, the approval figure can be negated at any stage by votes against.

I thought they hade been posting updates as per hearld Graphic

ie. 68% acceptances but on only 20% of shares. My guess is they received the councils ones which means it would only be something like 35% acceptances on 40% of shares and they didn't want it to look bad.

Auckland council today talking up a high speed rail link from CBD to the airport , would be massive for the stock.

Great for passengers and staff.

Cant think of many big international airports which dont have a rail lnk

Vancouver doesn't, but they are rapidly building one right now and with 17.5M annual passenger movements, it has been LONG overdue.

[And yes, there are plenty more examples]
