Q: Hello 5i, I hold Spartan with a cost of 7.54 per share and was thinking of selling for the tax loss(maybe). What is the last day that I could sell my Spartan shares before they are converted to Vermilion shares. Also I am thinking of letting the shares convert as I like Vermilion as a company. What would be your view on this. Thanks

Q: I'm reviewing the takeover documentation. I have noticed that the board of directors has given no recommend on this takeover. Do you think this deal will close?

Q: I recently sold my Spartan shares for $6.77 - as of yesterday the price was down to $6.51 and I am looking at repurchasing.
in your opinion, should I purchase Vermilion or stay with Spartan (is there an advantage to be found here)?
It is my understanding that owners of Spartan receive .15 of a Vermilion share if the deal goes through!
