re: the offer, hmmm
Just spoke with Scottrade, soon to be Ameritrade. I've received inconsistent information depending on when I asked. When I initially called and went over the offer, seemed all one was required to do was own shares by the record date to buy in.
The update is that the offer is not open to shareholders in the US or Hong Kong until, possibly, later. I did not get a clear answer there.
BTW, +46 (0) 31 710-3201 is a fax number. To get a recording or a human voice dial
