Theiss’ offer of A$1.075 per share for MACA Ltd (MLD AU) has been declared unconditional despite acquiring 44.30% of outstanding shares, below the 50% threshold.
The offer has met with resistance from retail shareholders as it remains below NRW’s rejected offer, and there is a lack of clarity on franking credits. 
Thiess can restart on-market purchases from 27 September. The offer closes on 7 October. The shares are trading in line with the offer.

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.
