A Refund cheques for the part of the application that was unsuccessful were sent out on Wednesday. If the Link Reit does not list, cheques for the rest of the money will be sent no later than Tuesday.

Q Will those who were allotted shares receive what they were promised if the listing proceeds at a later date? Or will a new allotment process be organised?
