On listening to the web-cast.
It seems that nothing really happens until after the first of the year.
Until then, Alterra will trade as usual.
-
A C$132 million has been set aside for those who want cash.
If you do nothing, you get shares.
-
In my experiences, the cash option disappears too fast for normal shareholders to take advantage.
So you will likely end up an Innergex shareholder.
Then you can cash out at your leisure.
-
Before the web-cast, I was looking for a strategy to postpone taxes on gains until 2018.
Prayers answered.

Ross Beaty is happy, he says Alterra’s Achilles heal was the premium interest rate we had to pay.
Financing projects as Innergex [Alterra II?], at a lower rate, will put the projects into ‘overdrive’.
I wonder who will be the new Alterra person on Innergex’s Board of Directors.
-
Off Topic.
Ross Beaty just started a new gold mining company this week, Equinox [V.EQX].
It is the amalgamation of three junior gold corporation. It will not trade until late December.
I am a current shareholder of one of the components, Treck Mining [V.TREK].
[A few month ago, Lowell Copper, then JDL - it has been changing its name every other month.]
-
Ross Beaty has not retired.

This was announced as a $1.1B CAD acquisition, but Alterra has less than $60M shares fully dilluted outstanding (as far as I can tell). This makes 60M * $8.25 CAD far less than $1.1B CAD. DId anyone else notice this? What am I missing?

I answered my own question ---> including assumption of Alterra's debt. Now it all makes sense.

The reason it is $1.1B is they are taking on all of the debt associated with every project. To make the deal sound bigger they always add up equity and debt for the grand total.
