New Generation of Stock Doctor
With the regulatory approvals secured, the merger between TPG Telecom Limited (TPM) and iiNet Limited (IIN) was implemented on 7 September 2015.
As an IIN investor you had the option of either Cash Consideration or Share Consideration for your IIN shares.
If you elected the Cash Consideration, you received $8.80 per IIN share, plus a Discretionary Special Dividend of $0.6914 per share, and Top-Up Cash Consideration $0.0586 per IIN share.
If you elected the Share Consideration, you received 0.5533 TPM shares for each IIN, and received $3.77 per IIN share (to compensate for the scale back). You should also have received a Discretionary Special Dividend of $0.6914 per share, and Top-Up Cash Consideration $0.0586 per IIN share. That is, you received 0.5533 TPG share plus $4.52 cash.

- Number of shares participating: the original number of IIN shares you hold. In this example we have 1,000 IIN shares at $4.50 per share, with a brokerage fee of $29.95. You will need to modify the numbers below to reflect your own holdings. To do this more easily, take note of the average unit cost of each IIN share you hold now (in our example $4.53).
- New holdings for which rollover relief applies
- Code: TPM
- Quantity: 1,000 x .5533 = 553 shares (multiply the number of IIN shares you held x 0.5533)
- Cost base rolled over (%): 57.4425%
‘New Holdings for which rollover relief does NOT apply’
Code: IIN
Quantity: 1,000 (this should be the number of IIN shares you held originally)
Value per share: original cost base x 42.5575% in this example $1.9279, assuming an original parcel of 1,000 shares at $4.50 per share and $29.95 brokerage, as above.
To calculate this value for your portfolio multiply the original average unit cost per share for each IIN share x 42.5575%.
