Vault Minerals Ltd (ASX: VAU)
Hi MM team, Vault share price now seems to be above the merger deal payment to VAU shareholders, is that correct? If so, is it time to sell VAU above $6 or is the future Genesis price worth holding on for? Thanks Trish

Hi Trish,
The price will move around given the scrip component of the deal, however as of Thursday, it was trading at a ~1% discount, which is the normal merger arbitrage spread. Selling VAU today and buying GMD directly achieves almost identical economic exposure to the same upside, without the residual scheme approval risk. To clarify the deal:
- Script component 0.7629 x GMD shares.
- Cash component 47.5c fixed.
The decision to hold through to completion is effectively a decision on whether GMD is your preferred exposure to the gold sector moving forward.
