Pfizer Inc (PFE US) upped its Resapp Health (RAP AU) offer from A$0.146 per share to A$0.208 per share, in line with the independent expert’s preferred value of A$0.208 per share.
The NO vote camp from defiant retail shareholders forced Pfizer to up its offer. Unfortunately, a vocal NO camp is still present despite Pfizer’s revised higher offer.
At the last close, the gross spread is 9.5%. The risk/reward profile is unfavourable as ResApp is a highly-held retail stock, posing a headcount test risk to the scheme.
