RE:I voted my 64,000 sharesNot a big shareholder, but voted my 8,200 shares against the merger today. I have zero interest in owning a South African gold miner, so keeping my fingers crossed the deal either falls apart or somebody else comes up with a more attractive offer. I guess we will know the outcome of the vote on Nov 21.
The large decline in Gold Fields share price immediately after the merger announcement removed all of the takeover premium that we were supposed to get. Will be very surprised if this goes through. Even Gold Fields shareholders do not like the deal.
