Yes, I think likely will be given as special dividend after selling public bank shares.
But LPI shares would also drop by the same amount after the distribution.
Profit for LPI will also drop by the the dividend income they used to receive from holding Public bank shares moving forward.
I won't really consider this a windfall gain, because LPI is not selling Public bank share at a premium to the market.
Its akin to selling part of the company asset and distributing the proceeds to shareholders.
I would prefer if LPI can reinvest the proceeds into a higher yielding business/company so that we see income growth with LPI.

@greenshoot
public bank shares are yielding about 4% in dividend yield
the 215million shares held would bring about $40m in dividend for LPI
after selling PBB shares, does it mean that LPI net profit would fall by about $40m?
