After consumer electronics retailer Challenger Technologies (CHLG SP) announced a voluntary unconditional cash offer of S$0.56/share on the 30 May, it has closed through terms every day. 
At a 3.1% and 4.3% to undisturbed and one-month VWAP, the Offer was low-balled. The Offeror (Dymon Asia and Challenger's CEO Loo Leong Thye) have now bumped to S$0.60/share. 
The price has been declared final. It is still only a 9.1% premium to undisturbed. But it is a lifetime high. 


Challenger Tech: Offer Bumped & Declared Final

<li>
<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/challenger-technologies-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:16490:1" rel="noopener">Challenger Technologies (CHLG SP)</a> has disclosed a final voluntary unconditional offer from Dymon Asia and the Loo Family at S$0.60 per share, a 7.1% premium to the previous S$0.56 offer. </li>
<li>As predicted, the offer followed the recent SGX unconditional offer playbook – a lowball offer followed by declaring the offer final after a cursory bump.</li>
<li>The modest offer premium will still leave minorities aggrieved. Hitting the 90% compulsory threshold implies a minority acceptance rate of 31.3%. At the last close, the gross spread is 3.4%.</li>
