Latest Mergers And Acquisitions News

Tourism Holdings is reviewing revised non-binding proposals from both the BGH consortium and Indie Campers, while reporting a 34% rise in FY26 underlying profit. The stronger result comes with unresolved questions around the US business, weak RV sales and the timing of its $100 million profit ambition.

Clinuvel has outlined a multi-year expansion from peptide therapeutics into polymers, long-acting injectables, devices and digital health, backed by A$220 million of planned FY2027-FY2030 spending. The strategy comes with a near-term setback: first patient treatment in the CUV107 vitiligo study has been delayed to February 2027.

Riversgold has locked in $1.55 million from sophisticated and professional investors to fund its E25/594 acquisition from Black Cat Syndicate. The deal would expand the Kalgoorlie-Northern Zone Project nearly 15-fold, but more than 258 million new shares will be issued across two tranches.

Peet has executed the implementation deed for a joint venture that would give BNI 49.9% of its Flagstone City project at an agreed inventory value of $615 million. The deal removes a key hurdle in Ingenia’s proposed acquisition of Peet, although other conditions remain outstanding.

Jumbo Interactive delivered record FY26 earnings despite a weak Australian jackpot cycle and reaffirmed its FY27 targets. The company is also pursuing a conditional A$6.45 million acquisition in Ontario while preparing for a CFO transition.

Nine Entertainment has maintained its forecast for revenue and EBITDA growth in FY27, while lifting its expected annualised cost savings target to at least A$180 million. Outdoor, Stan and digital publishing are carrying more of the group’s earnings, although Total Television revenue remains under pressure and shareholder support for executive remuneration was less emphatic.

Regency Centers lifted its 2026 outlook and increased its quarterly common dividend by 6% after stronger third-quarter operating results. The upbeat performance came alongside a sharp decline in GAAP net income, driven partly by a US$65.1 million real estate impairment charge.

Count has completed a fully underwritten $25.0 million institutional placement to help fund its planned acquisition of a 75% interest in Skybridge Financial Group. The acquisition still requires ACCC clearance or a notification waiver before completion, targeted for Q3 FY2027.

NextEra Energy has set out the preliminary financial shape of its proposed Dominion Energy acquisition, including US$62.1 billion of consideration and US$35.7 billion in goodwill. The transaction remains subject to regulatory approvals and other closing conditions, while the accounting estimates could change materially before completion.

Mayne Pharma will sell its international operations, including the Salisbury manufacturing site, to Evaris Pharma for $55.5 million in cash. The deal leaves the company focused entirely on its US Women’s Health, Dermatology and DistributeRx businesses, subject to ACCC approval.

Hammer Metals has set 13 November for the Federal Court to consider approval of Austral Resources Australia’s proposed acquisition of the company. The hearing comes after shareholders are due to vote on the scheme and a linked demerger on 9 November.

American Water and Essential Utilities have reached a settlement with all parties in a New Jersey regulatory proceeding over their proposed merger. The agreement still requires approval from the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities, and its substantive terms have not been disclosed in the filing.
