Norsat takeover (BMOIL)

Post by fireseeker »

Passing on an unusual experience with the recent takeover of NII, which I held in a TFSA.
The takeover price was $11.50 USD, which the company announced was worth $14.57 CDN as of the takeover date.

Oddly, I received $14.209 CDN per share. The amount suggests BMOIL took the $11.50 USD and converted it unbidden while keeping its usual forex vig.
I called asking for an explanation and BMOIL immediately offered to credit my account the 36 Canadian cents a share that had evaporated.
Other holders may wish to verify they got paid out appropriately.
(Fixed typo)

Typo? Did you mean $14.57 CDN ?
