[lashing]

Foolish

[Ariahp]

LEO101 That is a foolish thing to do. You voted for the deal and yet voted against the directors This like eating your mothers cooking and then voting against her. NICE eh!  I guess you would enjoy her meal and then boot her out.....no different you like the deal but dont like the people who came up with the deal. Get your head out of the sand dunes of Saudi Arabia and do the inteligent

Can't fault him for voting for PPL. I would think IPL directors will be mostly out of the picture, whichever way this goes, but heck, what do I know?

[lashing]

Yes I can. Its a lowball offer.

Pipsqueak company bidding for failed welfare company the egos of coke fueled AB board members captive in Canada is off the charts lol.

Some people are missing the point. Brookfield’s first offer was a big time low ball.  They thought they could steal IPL. PPL is the white knight.  If I was on the board of IPL then I would tell Brookfield  to F off and that’s why the breakup fee was added.  To tell Brookfield to  F off.  Got it.

It's like you have a new exotic classic Benz worth big bucks but only 95% completed. A loser low balls you with an insulting offer, who has no experience nor knowledge in finishing the classic vehicle.

Micromike, I think you got it! Short and to the point, what a summary!

[leo101]

the main consideration for me was tax.  i've held ipl (koch pipelines) since 2002 so there would be a big tax hit if i took the cash and the bipc shares are way overpriced.  the gap between bep.un and bepc was hugely reduced when bepc issued more shares.  taking bipc shares would be tax neutral but i think  they would plummet in value close to bip.un shares if  tons
