ASX Participants and ASX Clear (ASXCL) Participants were advised in ASX Notice #1457.17.12 dated 07 December 2017 of the adjustment method that ASX will apply to the Tatts Group Limited (ASX Code: TTS) and Tabcorp Holdings Limited (ASX Code: TAH) combination. Following shareholders and court approvals, the scheme is now effective with the last day of trading of TTS shares 13 December 2017.
Scrip and Cash Offer Adjustment
As earlier advised, ASX will, after the close of business on the last date of trading of TTS shares on 13 December 2017, adjust Open Positions in TTS options as follows:
The Underlying Securities will become TAHNB shares; the New Contract Size in TA9 will become 0.8 * Old Contract Size;
note that the options code TA9 will be used for TAHNB Shares
the Exercise Price in each Series will be adjusted for the Cash component, and in reflection of the reduction of the cash amount, using the following formula: New Exercise Price = (Old Exercise Price - $0.425)/(NC/OC)
Table of adjusted series are as follows
