I'm leaning towards 'no' because anyone/everyone who buys on the market will be obligated to pay the higher price anyway, and retail holders only get the cap benefit if they don't sell. So I guess the 'obligation price' post IPO will always be seen as $1.80 and this is the benchmark on which the market will trade
Interested in others' views on this, but makes me think if you want it, buy in the IPO. Those who are going to wait and see where it settles, could be giving up 20 cents.
As always I agree with you.!!

Must say I am puzzled about what happens to the Manapouri power if Tiwai closes. At the moment that electricity cannot be sent north, apparently a new line up to Benmore is required.
Does that use existing pylons or is a whole new line required?
Also from what I've read, the electricity generated by Manapouri is heavy DC stuff because that is what smelters need. It isn't generated in a useful current for the NZ network. But I could be completely wrong.
Anyone?

Looking at the wiring diagram (http://systemoperator.co.nz/f1686,84...Locatordwg.pdf) located at the bottom (MAN2201 & TWI2201), Tiwai is connected to Manapouri via two double circuit 220 kV transmission lines

Hi Winston, Manapouri was built by Bechtel concurrently with Tiwai Point, the government at the time never intended the power to go elsewhere. If Tiwai were to close suddenly, up to 400MW of Manapouri output would be stranded without the transmission being upgraded (existing corridors) through to the HVDC terminal at Benmore.

As I understand there is a four year notification period, so the risk is that Transpower may not be able to get the transmission upgrade built in that timeframe, politically and/or physically. Sounds like a long time, but NIMBY's don't like transmission lines.
The 630MW potentially available (inc the stranded 400MW) from Manapouri would go into the market, likely displacing thermal output at Huntly, so there are risks to both Meridian and Genesis.

See p 54 of the Offer Document for Meridian's view on this issue.

He says..
My view on the results of the above will be:
•The price of Meridian will be more competitive (i.e. the Government will want an increase after listing not a decrease).
• There will be a bigger effect on other companies (expect strong selling of second liners !).
• The offer is probably the smart one to take because of this.
I agree with his statements.. I do not really care whether he has given " BUM " statements before..
Meridian is in my opinion.. A good deal whether you are in it for.. Stagging.. Short term.. or Long term..
Having sorted that out.. What to sell down from my portfolio that is under performing is the biggest problem..
Will probably end up buying what the purse can come up with in the next few weeks..
It is a BUY .. IMHO.. DYOR..

One of the issues for MRP is the IPO sweetener. Investors who got in after IPO will not have any benefit. This created the situation of over-inflated IPO subscription and subdued demand afterwards I think, which probably explains how it has performed so far. This time with Meridian, do the investors buy after IPO still get the "pay later" benefit? Is there any other sweetener that will differentiate before and after IPO purchases?

Post IPO investors still get the instalment receipt benefit. However, they dont get the benefit of the retail price cap.
So say the IPO price is $1.80 with $1 paid up front, with retail investors only having to pay $1.60.
What happens when the market determines the correct price is $1.70. To the IPO retail investor, they think their instalment receipt is worth $1.10 as they only have to pay 60c, but to the purchaser, they are only willing to pay 90c, since they will have to pay 80c. This could result in a locked in effect where retail investors are incentivised to hold (which is the point of the incentive)
I guess this is the same issue with MRP where IPO investers will get extra shares issued (4% worth up to a cap) if they hold long enough.

I can see the emergence of a secondary market where you offer your installment reciepts on a delayed delivery basis to take advantage of the price difference.
