<<<For each share Alcatel will pay a security exchangeable into 0.81 of an ADR (American depository receipt which allows trading in foreign stocks). Alcatel's ADRs trade at $48.69 (U.S.). This works out to $71.01 (Canadian) -- a premium of 36.6 per cent over Newbridge's share price.>>> Note that there is no false statement here, there is just an encouragement to jump to a faulty conclusion. It's probably not the work of the Inv Reporter or am I being too charitable? A likely max range in ALA for now is about 40 - 50; so, the conversion value of each Newbridge share would be anywhere from 47 to 59 Canadian dollars. If my math is right!
