Not exactly true. Before the circular was dispatched, one could easily buy a few hundred lots at $0.88. At that price, there's little to lose - only the brokerage - as the downside is protected by an unconditional offer. Think you mentioned it too..
Now, this investor has several options and one of those is to accept the offer, either partially or fully.
An example of partial acceptance + market sale:
Suppose he bought 100 lots.
Cost: $88,233.05 (brokerage included)
He can sell 88 lots (huaty huat) in the open market at $0.885 for $77,673.75 and accept the offer for the remaining 12 lots for $11,760.00. That will give him a total proceed of $88,233.75 netting him a profit of $0.71.
The profit, though negligible, means that he is now paid to enjoy any upward price revision for his 12 lots. Most importantly, he has no money at risk.
+++++++++
The other scenarios are more straightforward - accept offer fully, hold, or sell fully into the market.
