Geminder’s Opening Salvo For Pact?
- Plastic products manufacturer Pact Group Holdings (PGH AU) has announced an unconditional off-market takeover from its major shareholder, Raphael Geminder.
- Geminder, with a current stake of 50%, is offering – via wholly-owned entity Kin Group – A$0.68/share, a paltry 0.07% premium to last close. Shares recently touched an all-time low.
- The Offer is (should be) open for a month. As the bid is unconditional, there’s nothing to stop Geminder from buying shares higher, then simply lifting his Offer price.
