Rovio - Value from the gaming industry?

Trading is expected to be suspended during January, and at the earliest, the money (redemption price + interest) will be in the account in about 20 days, although at its slowest, this has taken over 100 days. Personally, I believe in the quicker payment, as a fair interest rate is currently being paid for the redemption period and stalling becomes expensive.

So, for what period is this interest paid?

Interest is paid for the period of 22.9.2023 - xx.01.2024, i.e., for about 4 months. The interest rate for 2023 is 7% and for 2024 it is 7.5%. There’s a free lunch on offer here, as you get interest for the entire ~4-month period even if you bought the shares on the last trading day. In this case, assuming the payment reaches your account in about a month, you get an annualized return of around 25-30% on your capital.
