<li>After what appeared indecisiveness from Genesis Capital, Crescent Capital's National Dental Care snuck in on the 29th April and entered into a Scheme with <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/pacific-smiles-group-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:2891:1" rel="noopener">Pacific Smiles (PSQ AU)</a> at A$1.90/share. </li>
<li>The Scheme Meeting is the 1st August with expected implementation on the 19th August. The IE (Deloitte) reckoned terms are fair &amp; reasonable. All good right? Not quite.</li>
<li>The Takeovers Panel has concluded Genesis Capital, with 19.9% of shares out, is free to vote. Assuming Genesis votes against the Scheme, Crescent Capital's Offer is effectively dead.</li>
