On the 22 September, Costa Group Holdings (CGC AU) backed Paine Schwartz Partners' (PSP) revised (and reduced) A$3.20/share best and final Offer. 
Costa's Scheme Meeting has now been tabled for the 30 December, with implementation expected on the 26 February. The IE is supportive and Costa's board unanimously recommends the transaction.
This appears  done. Key conditions are Costa's shareholder vote and SAMR approval. I can't see SAMR getting into a bind over berries.

<li>The scheme requires China SAMR and European Commission approvals. SAMR approval poses a timing risk but the scheduling of the scheme meeting reflects PSP's confidence in securing the approvals.</li>
<li>While not a knockout bid, the profit warning should help sway the retail vote in favour of the scheme. At the last close, the gross spread was 8.1%.</li>
