The amount of foreign ownership in Qantas is a current topic and I'm interested in how they lower that level if it has exceeded the limit.
Let's say company"A" in Europe has bought 5% this week.Is it the company(QF) that accepts that purchase or the brokerage?
If it is the company and the government forces QF to lower the amount of foreign ownership and company "A" was the last foreign based concern to do so.Is company "A" expected to sell their shares on a last on first off basis?
If the share price has dropped since the initial purchase is there any compensation to company "A" for both the share price drop and brokerage fees?
If so where does the compensation come from?
