Rex has currently drawn down $75 million, not $70 million. And PAG can't be given shares at a discount. The convertible notes issue to PAG is clear on a number of things. PAG determine the form of settlement - shares or cash - not Rex. And if PAG elect to take shares the issue price is $1.50 - if the shares are trading below that then Rex has to cover the difference. PAG are not going to be diddled by Rex on that deal.

The Sale Act does not block another shares placement so long as subsequent to the placement foreign ownership doesn't exceed the threshold 49 percent articulated in Part 3 of the Act. Qantas could easily launch another $1.5 billion equity raising through institutional placements and manage the foreign component.
