You could jump in and expect to get the 4.1p premium (at time of writing) assuming the deal goes through, but you would get no dividend on them. However, you would have to buy a reasonable number in order for the broker fees to make it worth your while. Remember 4p is only 1%.

is the fall back an opportunity to get in and take some easy money?

What is the benefit of taking the loan note option ?

Is it just converting your value into a promise to pay some money in the future when you want it - so presumably benefit is you can defer when capital gains tax liability kicks in ? - over a number of years by cashing in your loan notes over a number of years ?

Any consideration of going down this route presumably needs to be off set by way of impact of inflation on the value of the loan note (which I presume stays fixed?)

Well dun though on your 41K (I’m only in for 26K, but bought at seriously low prices so I'm pretty happy). Going back to my post of 23rd April the real question is do we sell before settlement? That depends on your view of the market. It’s down about 5% since the deal was announced so we’re way ahead since the IPR sp is effectively fixed. I’ve been close to selling but not convinced of suitable bargains and the market still seems to be falling … so holding fire
