CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION CACC
Terms unclear
Unclear — read the filing yourself
In a Dutch auction, tendering too high can cost you the priority. The company picks the lowest price that buys the shares it wants, and everyone at or below that price gets it. Tender above it and your shares come back unpurchased — and because you are not in the accepted pool at all, the odd-lot priority never applies. Most offers have a box meaning "accept whatever price is determined", which keeps you in the pool; the trade-off is that you give up any say in the price. The filing explains both.
