    Which of the three offers are you asking about?

    I don’t really understand what you have typed. What is ‘Get Had’?

    Always the best way of calculating the % gain is to calculate it on a per share basis in the same way as the examiner’s answer.

    Sorry got a bit confused there. I just wanted to know if for Opao i can write what they had was 5000 what they get is 2000*2.6 and do the difference and find the % gain? and similarly for Tai what they get is 2.6*263+2.09*263 and what they had is 1000 and find the % gain
