Resapp Health (RAP AU)’s scheme meeting date has been set for 7 September. Pfizer Inc (PFE US)’s A$0.208 per share is its best and final offer.
The Board hoped that the threat of a discounted equity raise and Pfizer’s final offer would sway the retail shareholders’ NO vote camp. However, there remains a vocal NO camp.
The headcount test remains a key risk. The upside (9.5% spread to the offer) vs downside (likely equity raise at a huge discount) is an unfavourable risk/reward profile.
