RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:IPL asking price-24$ I think you are genuinely confused as to how a total return swap operates. It is not issued by the underlying company (in this case IPL) and there is nothing to convert into underlying equity of IPL. It is simply a form of agreement made by two parties about the financial performance of a third asset (in this case IPL stock). It is not like a warrant or option ISSUED BY IPL which could, conceivably, get converted to IPL common stock. A swap can not ever be converted to common shares because that is not how they are structured. That is what put and call options and warrants are for.
So by your interpretation the OSC should be treating BIP as an insider or reporting insider. So I guess the fact that BIP's ownership of IPL stopped just shy of 10% is just a happy coincidence and not prudent planning by BIP's legal counsel.
It appears clear that you want things to be a certain way, facts or the law be damned. You're entitled to your own opinion, but not your own set of facts.

There are plenty of precedents for the partial dilution I referred to whereby you have to not only add up the warrants,options,convertibles,swaps etc,etc, but for the purposes of calculating the 10% you must assume only you convert whatever instruments you have into common and nobody else does. No I'm not going to search the act to find it, I know it to be a fact because I have witnessed it and got in sh!t for it once.Turns out the osc was pretty adamant that I needed to report. I plead ignorance and got off with an official warning sent my board of directors governance committee. I'm done, if you still can't process this than we'll just have to wait and see if the osc ever gets around to this.
