you seem to have missed the point that was being made by Goodlife22, in that there were two conflicting messages in the original news release.
That was confirmed by the re-issue and now corrected news release issued a little while ago.
Accuracy and precision is important to some, not so much to others.
I didn’t ‘seem to have missed his point’. Just stating, all that matters is the distribution details- which had also clearly expressed spinout/dividend shares in previous news releases as well.
A news release is a legal communication document.
Precision and Accuracy is what it is all about.
If the message is mixed (when the whole document was read) which it was, the message is open to more than one interpretation.
Based on the first statement in the release (left un-corrected) someone may demand 20 odd BGF shares per one HPQ share,
since that is what the first statement said.
That is what was pointed out by goodlife22 (Fantastic Deal slap that ask).
And it was acknowleged as a problem by management, who have corrected the error.
You apparently believe this correction was not required.
Management apparently does not agree.
