Based on Nera’s FY2015 financials, its payment solutions business accounted for approximately 26% of the Company’s total revenue of S$181.5 million and approximately 21% of its total earnings of S$13.4 million. Ingenico’s offer of S$88 million represents 35% of Nera’s market capitalization of S$251.5 million as at close of trading on 19 May 2016.

Cannot deny the attraction of the boost from that once off spec div. Could be the highest div payout in NeraTel's history.

After that, depends on how the remaining business perform. Oversea expansion is a must to get good grow. One of the best dividend pay master in SGX.

the payment solutions business is a stable re-curring income, after selling it off, wonder if NeraTel still able to sustain the dividends.

$88M can last more than 10 years of dividends if they did not payout everything. Market condition is completely different animal for such a long period.

Most of the proceeds should be paid out at one go. The other businesses under Nera do not require much working capital, and North Star would want to boost its fund's IRR so returning the money to investors ASAP is in their interest.

Based on share price of April 7 of 0.53 till last closing of 0.70, it represent a rise of 30%. Since the 88 mil offer represents 35% of Market Cap, the market had already reacted to the news, with no arbitrage possibility..

Meaning OPMI's interest indirectly taken care of?

One thing I find it strange is that the termination notice is 18 mths. Unusually long. Never come across such terms of employment. To me if the employee heart is not there then it's better to let him go as soon as practical instead of hanging on as a zombie.
