MACA’s A$1.075 Offer from Theiss Declared Unconditional

<ul>
<li>Theiss has improved its <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/maca-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:11390:1" rel="noopener">MACA Ltd (MLD AU)</a> offer from A$1.025 to A$1.075 per share. The offer is conditional on 90% minimum acceptances, FIRB approval and no prescribed occurrences.</li>
<li>Theiss increased its shareholding to 15.90% of outstanding shares due to acceptances from MACA founders and directors.
