HBOS Open Offer - I don't get it!?

Hi, I have just received notification that I'm able to buy a few hundred HBOS shares at 113.6p each. However, the current share price is 77p per share.

I don't understand the offer. To me, this is like going to any shop where i live. Say, throughout the UK, a Mars bar is 77p. I go to one city, and there are hundreds of shops which sell Mars bars for the standard 77p.

However, a manager comes out of one particular shop and says, hey, I will sell you a Mars bar for £1.13. The shop next door is exactly the same but sells them for 77p.

Surely, it cannot be that simple. Please can someone explain?

Thanks,

Ant...

    When they set the 'offer price' it looked like a good deal ..

    The offer is being 'underwritten' by the UK Government .. if no-one takes it up (and at this price, you can be sure they won't) then all the shares that are being offered will go to the Government ..

    This will leave UK Gov. holding (I believe) about 40% of the Bank ..

    It really is that simple, if the open offer price is higher than the current market price you do not take it up.
