    revised non-binding indicative proposal to acquire MET and has substantially
    negotiated a scheme implementation agreement (SIA) with a third party.

    I agree with you Winner on how this reads, a deal has been done. Just checking that SIA is the 'how to go about it' stuff? I'm guessing there is significant costs when sorting the logistics? Am I thinking correctly?

    North of $7 being talked about. I'd be very surprised if they hadn't got price agreement already as if they hadn't we wouldn't be in a trading halt.
    Puts a rocket under the rest of the sector.

    Shareprice at $6.38 about the same as THREE years ago ....and there’s been huge earnings growth since I’m told.

    Everybody seems happy to get something a bit over 7 bucks

    MET on paper has a well respected Board but on reflection you’d have to say they’ve (and Sowry) been pretty slack when it comes to enhancing shareholder value. Not a good look, I’ll keep their names in mind.

    Anyway this dog is probably going to put out of its misery soon.....but I’m happy to have made on it do sort of feel sorry for long term suffering holders who at best have really got as they say a get out jail free card as

    If you take a 3 year perspective there's a lot of disappointed people who bought a house / land in Auckland 3 years ago and I think therein lies the explanation.
    The outlook is much better and also the development outlook of MET and that's probably what has stirred interest in this proposed takeover.
    Every other stock in the sector is now trading on a minimum of a 25% premium to NTA so private equity are getting a great deal if this goes for $7.25 which virtually no premium to NTA at all. I think you are right, the board and Sowry could have been a lot more proactive and as mentioned recently the buy-back was too little, too late.

    Easy enough to find SUM value elsewhere in the sector as a substitute for capital invested here.

    By all means gather the bountiful harvest in the forests during late summer but keep an eye for the bear (or tiger if you are in Asia!).

    SUM might be wondering where the ~ one and a half billion in cash from this potential takeover might be reinvested ? As always I have barked my opinion clearly in the appropriate thread

    They say it’s hard to recognise euphoria when you are euphoric ....all will OK ...what can go wrong

    Nothing will go wrong.

    Or so they thought when they ploughed into the electricity sector but just a few months ago - Contact at $9 (now $7.18) & TPW at $8.60 (now $7.33).

    Happy to take the top off this sector while there's plenty of euphoria around too.

    Ironic in some ways that Comvita actually buying their shares back while Metlifecare never got round to it.

    Metlifecare Board slack as got a lot to answer for - just as well NZ Superfund have stirred the market up, but then their expectations probably aren’t that high....just happy to get out.

    Metrics are chalk and cheese between the gentailers and retirement companies.
