<li>Capitalising on ongoing extensions to Adamantem's exclusivity, as it relates to its all-cash A$1.817/share Offer by way of a Scheme, IPH has now tabled an all-scrip, plus A$0.11/share dividend <a href="https://announcements.asx.com.au/asxpdf/20240508/pdf/063c31fpygftp0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBIO</a>.</li>
