Latest Mergers And Acquisitions News

Gartner delivered stronger adjusted earnings and cash flow in the third quarter, while contract value growth accelerated and management raised its full-year 2026 outlook. The headline GAAP revenue decline was distorted by the sale of its Digital Markets operation.

Peet’s proposed takeover by Ingenia has cleared its first formal Court hurdle, with ASIC registering the Scheme Booklet ahead of a shareholder vote on 7 December. Kroll says the deal is fair and in shareholders’ best interests, but ACCC clearance, Flagstone documentation and a second Court hearing remain outstanding.

New Zealand Rural Land Company’s 75%-owned partnership has made the $18.84 million sale of five Hawke’s Bay orchards unconditional. Settlement is expected within five working days, with net proceeds initially earmarked for bank debt repayment, although FY26 earnings guidance remains suspended.

QMines has raised more than targeted through a $5.5 million placement, giving its Mt Chalmers copper-gold development a larger funding base as drilling continues. The company also intends to seek a further $1 million from eligible shareholders, although both the SPP and deferred sale proceeds remain subject to completion.

Osmond Resources has secured A$3.75 million from a share placement to advance its Orión project in Spain, taking pro forma cash above A$6.5 million. The raise strengthens the company’s near-term funding position, but remains modest against the approximately US$300 million required by its preliminary development study.

Neu Horizon Uranium has identified drill targets across all four prospects at its Krokom project in Sweden, including electromagnetic conductors extending more than 5 kilometres. The ASX-listed explorer expects its A$8.6 million cash balance to fund a 5,000 to 6,000 metre maiden drilling campaign from early 2027, subject to approvals.

Schoolblazer has secured binding commitments for a A$5.325 million placement, with proceeds earmarked partly for repayment of its IFM debt facility. The raise includes A$1.75 million of director participation that still requires shareholder approval.

Lennox is replacing the head of its Building Climate Solutions segment with an internal executive while retaining the outgoing leader as a strategic adviser through February 2028. The transition preserves customer and leadership continuity, but the filing does not indicate any change to financial guidance.

Dynamic Metals has secured a staged pathway to acquire up to 70% of a north Queensland fluorspar project, where selective surface samples returned calculated results as high as 98.8% CaF₂ equivalent. The early-stage opportunity requires A$400,000 in cash and A$2.5 million of exploration spending, with continuity and scale still unproven.

Tivan has lifted the Indicated portion of its Speewah fluorite resource by 37% after 14,025 metres of drilling, clearing a key technical hurdle for mine planning and Ore Reserve work. The overall resource grew only 4%, leaving the next test firmly in project economics, metallurgy and funding.

Arena REIT has set FY2027 distribution guidance at 20.0 cents per security, a 3.9% increase on FY2026, as it reports further progress in reshaping its Edge Early Learning exposure. The guidance remains conditional on approvals, lease consents and stable operating conditions.

Javelin Minerals’ board has unanimously urged shareholders to accept First Au’s all-scrip takeover, even as an independent expert concluded the offer is not fair but reasonable. The proposal values each Javelin share at 10.29 cents based on FirstAU’s latest stated price, with funding risks and a key shareholder vote still ahead.
