Q: Hello 5i team,
I have read the first wave of questions yesterday. (1) I understand the probability of another bid is higher than zero: this probability is similar to what other deal over the last 2 years? From which entities could it come from? Private equity firm?
(2) Approximately when will the information about the tax consequences will become available (circular)?
(3) Wouldn’t be logical for the new company to trade on more than one exchange (London) since it is a merger of large entities active worldwide? Would it be announced in the circular?
(4)Do you expect the current large discount to persist until the Uk authorities release their decision?
(5) I am right to interpret market reaction this way: Flutter price says the deal is good and it is going to happen; TSGI price says the deal looks good, but not so sure it is going to happen?
(6) in this current context: at what discount % would recommend to sell or sell half of now ?
Thank you for your collaboration, Eric

Q: its very interesting that tsgi is merging with this flutter group at about 28. a share.
i sold my tsgi shares over a year ago.
but really this is a horrible deal, what about all the shareholders who bought between 28 and 50 that are still holding it.
its really only a good deal if you bought at 19-20 and i am not sure there are many of those.
even your portfolio exited long ago.i get it we were all in early with amaya but still this deal stinks.

Q: BNS, and indeed all the Canadian banks have wealth management units, including brokerage units like Scotia Itrade which generate considerable profit. The announcement by Charles Schwab that it would stop charging commissions on trades seems to have hammered a number of other broker related stocks. Do you see this as putting pressure on BNS to lower or eliminate their commissions? If so would this put downward pressure on the stock?
