Odd-lot tender into a C$800m Dutch auction issuer bid, C$29.00–33.00
- Entry
- 99 shares at C$28.03 · 10 Sep 2026
- Exit
- 99 shares at C$27.80 · 11 Sep 2026
- Result
- −C$24.95 · −0.9%
Sold before the offer closed. The circular put paid-up capital near C$10.60, so withholding on a non-resident account came to about three times the spread. Worked through in Issue #2 · Offer terms, 17 Aug 2026
Zevia · ZVIA · New York
Not a special situation: a speculative holding with no offer and no date
- Entry
- 2,000 shares at US$1.425 · 25 Aug 2026
- Exit
- 2,000 shares at US$1.272–1.285 · 10 Sep 2026
- Result
- −US$323.10 · −11.3%
Cut in a clean-up of the book. It stays here because Issue #2 disclosed it.
Lindsell Train Investment Trust · LTI · London
Tender for 20% of each holding at NAV less 5% · these shares settled after the record date and could not be tendered
- Entry
- 260 shares at 574p · 14 Sep 2026
- Exit
- 260 shares at 588p · 22 Sep 2026
- Result
- +£22.67 · +1.5%
Bought for a tender these shares were never eligible for: the offer counts shares held on the record date, and settlement landed two days after it. Sold once that was clear. The shares were quoted at 562–572p on 23 September, below the exit, with the offer open until 9 October. The record date, worked through in Issue #3
Arbutus Biopharma · ABUS · Nasdaq
Odd-lot tender into a US$230m Dutch auction self-tender, US$5.00–5.75 · tendered, taken up whole
- Entry
- 99 shares at US$5.05 · 1 Sep 2026
- Exit
- 99 shares at US$5.00 · tendered · paid on or about 5 Oct 2026
- Result
- −US$4.96 · −1.0% · computed; broker statement pending
The auction cleared at the US$5.00 floor. Odd lots were not prorated, so all 99 shares were bought; other tenders were taken up at about 55.6%. The clause worked as described and the entry price, above the floor, was the mistake. Worked through in Issue #5 · Final results, 1 Oct 2026
