By David Blennerhassett

  • On the 24 December, a buyer consortium led by Dazheng Group announced an all-cash proposal of US$29.00/share, a 9.4% premium to Ascendent’s Offer. “Credible” financing is in place.
  • The Consortium stands ready to engage with the Board“.  The Board should engage. The one curious aspect of this latest Offer is the apparent absence of Recco’s involvement.
