Press reports (here and here) suggest that Administrative Court has ruled out the request to suspend the DTAC/True merger and that the regulation which repeals NBTC’s veto rights is lawful.
This development suggests that the NBTC will apply remedial conditions rather than block the merger. The timeline for the satisfaction of VTO conditions is from late June to early August. 
With the Court ruling increasing the probability of a successful merger, it is attractive to buy the current share price ratio of 9.698x vs the implied swap ratio of 10.221x.

Frasers Hospitality (FHT SP)'s Offer comes at an all-time high price, exceeding the end-2019 price on a dividend-adjusted basis.  This should be done, but it is worth thinking about how.
There is clearly an intentional miscommunication and bad faith posturing by Toyo Construction (1890 JP). 

Link Admin (LNK AU) has to exit PEXA to appease ACCC. But how badly do D&amp;D want PEXA? Will they walk? Time to look at Link fundamentally.
