How's this calculated, anyone?

I'm puzzled by the reference to this $0.43 incremental SP. Anyone knows how that's calculated?

Transaction Summary

Pursuant to the Offer, Spartan shareholders will receive consideration of 0.1169 Bonterra Shares for each Spartan Share held (the "Exchange Ratio"). Based on Bonterra's 30-day average closing price of $43.05, the implied price per Spartan Share is $5.03.

As a part of the Arrangement, Bonterra has committed, subject to the execution of the definitive agreement and completion of the Arrangement, to increase its monthly dividend to $0.28 from $0.26 beginning March 2013. Subject to the transaction closing prior to February 15, 2013, Spartan shareholders will also receive a $0.26 per Bonterra share dividend on February 28, 2013. If Bonterra sustains its current effective yield of 7.2% following the dividend increase, Spartan shareholders can potentially realize an incremental $0.43 of value per Spartan Share. This amount, combined with the above share consideration, represents a 28% premium over the implied value of Spartan's share price of $4.27 (as calculated by using the previous bidder's closing price as at December 7, 2012 and the previous bidder's proposed exchange ratio).

Based on the Exchange Ratio, it is currently anticipated that Bonterra will issue approximately 10.7 million Bonterra Shares to the holders of Spartan Shares.
