RE:SPINCO SHARES NOT INCLUDED IN PPI agree with letsgetready...his analysis looks correct: "The buyer of the flow-throughs will not get the FCU Spinco share--The buyer gets the New merged FCU only (at 1.50)".
Seems like a good financing to me---It shows that the buyers value the deposit and are possibly oversubcribed at 1.50---Strong confidence in PLS deposit is there.
