United Malt (UMG AU): Malteries Soufflet’s Binding Offer
- The AFR reports that United Malt Group Ltd (UMG AU) has received a binding offer from Malteries Soufflet at A$5.00 per share, a 13.6% premium to the last close price.
- The high spread reflected the risk of a no-deal or price cut due to the weak 1HFY23 results and lack of updates since the end of the 10-week due diligence.
- The offer is conditional on shareholders and FIRB approval. Shareholders will be supportive and breathe a sigh of relief at receiving a binding offer with unchanged terms.
