Preference shares conversion

This has been known for a long time, and accounted for in the price. Topicus is a little more expensive than Constellation, but this is because it has higher potential growth.

My problem is that the numbers don't look that good once you compare them to the $10B market cap with the converted shares. I mean it will trade at 25% of Constellation's market cap but revenues are 15% of Constellation's. So on a numbers basis, might just be best to buy Constellation, especially since CSE will own a good portion of Topicus anyway.
