<li>The <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/link-administration-holdings-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:970:1" rel="noopener">Link Administration (LNK AU)</a> scheme meeting is scheduled for 22 August. The independent expert has concluded that the revised Dye &amp; Durham/DND offer is fair and reasonable.</li>
<li>There are several conditions precedents which could yet derail the deal. The key hurdles are the ACCC approval, ongoing FCA investigation and regulatory approval for certain DND shareholders.</li>
<li>At the last close, the gross and annualised spread to a 27 September payment is 9.3% and 79.1%, respectively. Ongoing satisfaction of conditions is the key catalyst.</li>
