Sorry I didn't make it clear. If the GO succeeds in acquiring at least 90% of the shares, 3 scenarios:
1. If Fincantieri wants counter to remain listed, it can do a share placement to increase the public float to more than 10%. In this case, trading as per normal (ie no suspension, trading halt etc)
2.  Fincantieri can compulsorily acquire remaining shares at offer price ($1.22). Means you bo bian have to sell to them at that price even if you rejected their GO. 
3. If it doesn't, remaining shareholders can force it to buy out their shares at $1.22.
In other words, worst case scenario = forced to sell your shares at $1.22. So you don't need to worry your shares will be caught in a limbo. Hope this helps.

Yes, in playing stocks, the most scary thing is to have a counter suspended or halted indefinitely.
Playing by the counter's chart, the sky is the limit for it to go, ie. great potential gains are possible.
Let's see how this counter plays out eventually...I am sure many should be " Huat Aaaaarh!!!"

With  Fincantieri as a kao shan, More prospective clients will have even more confidence to award more of their multi-million dollars contracts to STX OSV from now onwards.
STXOSV $1.555 COME M
NEY COME

STX OSV has broken-out of the 20/50 SMA with huge volume. Strong trend reversal.      It should be closing the 1.375 gap soon.
This circular by Ernst & Young should be issued soon:
        Appointment of Independent Financial Adviser 
advice of the IFA set out in the Circular to be issued in due course.     
       
Expect it to be favourable to the minority shareholders! 
        Appointment of Independent Financial Adviser 
The Board of Directors (the " Board" ) of the Company refers to the announcement made on 
23 January 2013 (the " Offer Announcement" ) by Credit Suisse (Singapore) Limited and 
Nomura Singapore Limited, for and on behalf of Fincantieri Oil & Gas S.p.A. (the " Offeror" ), a 
direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Fincantieri – Cantieri Navali Italiani S.p.A., in relation to the 
mandatory unconditional cash offer (the " Offer" ) by the Offeror to acquire all the issued 
ordinary shares (" Shares" ) in the capital of the Company, other than those already owned, 
controlled or agreed to be acquired by the Offeror, its related corporations and their 
respective nominees. 
The Board wishes to inform shareholders of the Company (" Shareholders" ) that it has on

my fear is that it will be suspended from trading when the offer closed.
suspended for how long also nobody know.
best option is to play safe and pull out. 
This stock shows clearly that it is no use to know about any news/fundamentals happening.
By just relying on the chart alone, money can be made.
Knowing about corporate actions, etc is in fact a liability to a trader.

Which can mean we still can "play"...my advisor says it is not likely to go up to $1.70 in near term but $1.40 by end feb is possible.

Which can mean that the upside is limitless... thanks for the enlightenment...

I'm no shifu but Fincantieri will need to acquire at least 90% of the shares through the GO before they can delist the counter. If they dont, stx osv will remain listed like it is now. I think Fincantieri can do another GO but must wait at least one year i think.
Assuming the stock is ramped up tp $1.70 or above at the expiry of the general offer,
    what are the options open Fincantieri before a delisting? Any fundamental sifus?
 
Hahaaa ! Come aeroplane come! Come yacht come! Come sampan come! $$$come come come!!!!

STX OSV Three New Orders Cut EPS, TP on Low 2012 Wins
STX OSV secured three new orders for offshore subsea construction vessels with an estimated value of NOK2.4bn (USD433m). We view the new orders positively as the vessels are based on STX OSV’s designs and margins on these orders could surprise on the upside. However, we lower FY13-14F EPS by 4.5% and 8.7% respectively as 2012 new order win of NOK9.5bn was lower than our estimate of NOK12bn. Consequently, we lower our TP from SGD2.05 to SGD1.96. Our TP is based on 12x FY13F P/E. We believe minority shareholders should not accept the cash General Offer from Fincantieri at SGD1.22/share as we think the offer undervalues the stock.
Secured three OSCV orders valued at around NOK2.4bn. STX OSV secured three new orders: i) one offshore subsea construction vessel (OSCV) (overall length of 121m and beam of 23m) for Solstad Offshore for NOK600m (USD108m) to be delivered in 2Q2014. The vessel will be based on STX OSV’s OSCV 03 design ii) one OSCV (overall length of 143m and beam of 25m) for Farstad Shipping for NOK800m (USD144m) to be delivered in 1Q2015. The vessel will be of STX OSV’s OSCV 07 design iii) one OSCV (overall length of 161m and beam of 32m) for DOF Subsea to be delivered in 1Q2015. Value of this contract was not disclosed. The vessel will be based on STX OSV’s OSCV 12 design. We estimate the DOF order to be worth NOK1bn (USD180m).
New orders lifted unbilled order book to NOK20.1bn. As of end 3Q12, STX OSV has an order book of NOK16.4bn. Since then, the company has secured NOK3.7bn new orders for five offshore subsea construction vessels, lifting its unbilled order book to NOK20.1bn.
Earnings: Cut FY13-14 EPS by 4.5-8.7% on lower FY12 order win. We lower FY12 EPS by 4.5% and FY14 EPS by 8.7% as 2012 new order win of NOK9.5bn was below our estimate of NOK12bn. We also lower FY13 new order win from NOK15bn to NOK12bn. We are expecting blended EBITDA margin of 12.7% in FY13.
Valuation: We cut our TP from SGD2.05 to SGD1.96 after we revised down our FY13F EPS. Our TP is based on 12x FY13F P/E, 25% discount to our target P/E for rig builders, and implies 58% upside from its last closing price. Key risks to our view are: i) successful privatization by Fincantieri ii) slowdown in new orders and iii) project execution risk.
Maintain Buy: Target SGD1.96
