My understanding is that you wouldn't get the BIPC shares unless the deal goes through. Also, there is a cap on the number of shares so if you tender yours, you may or may not get all of them converted and the remainder would be at $16.50 cash.

Never try to out-smart Brookfield as those slimeballs almost always win.

netting $1.50 for each IPL share converted.

Then,  you have the option to buy back your IPL shares at $17.95(current price)  or even
$18.   That gives you a profit of $1.50 on the trade.  If you choose to buy back your IPL 
shares you could also use your profit to add to the purchase thereby increasing your net 
IPL position.

Now given all that,  could you prepeat the process all over again before the offer term expires.
The question of timing is critical in doing the conversion,  then selling,  then rebuying.   The 
other variable of course is the arbitrage numbers have to still make sense as both stocks,  IPL 
and BIPC are volatile.

Has anyone done this yet?  If so would like to hear from you.
