Here is the math done elementary school style so it's easy to follow. As a jds shareholder you will end up owning half of jds (0.5 times $61 Can) plus half of UNPH (0.5 times 80 times 1.5 currency conversion factor) Approx $30 Can for half of Jds plus $60 Can for half of UNPH Net value of merged entity is approx. $90 - 94 $Can. based on closing prices Now if the value of the whole is greater than the value of the parts: well you know what I mean; it's up to the market to decide the value the merged entity. By the way the CEO of the former Uniphase is speaking tommorrow before the market opens. By the way (Number 2), the announcement gives JDS shareholders the option of accepting shares traded on Nasdaq (JDS Unipahase) or The TSE (JDS Uniphase Canada) so it will still be RRSP eligible
