Latest Share Offerings News

Hammer Metals has dispatched an amended scheme booklet after correcting several computational errors in performance-rights valuations and director-interest disclosures. The proposed Austral takeover remains unchanged, with shareholder votes scheduled for 9 November and the independent expert’s favourable conclusion intact.

Estrella Resources has agreed to divest its nickel rights across five Western Australian tenements for 20 million Astral Resources shares valued at $3 million. The deal remains conditional, but would sharpen Estrella’s focus on its Timor-Leste exploration portfolio while preserving exposure to Astral’s equity upside.

Hammer Metals’ proposed acquisition by Austral Resources has cleared its first court stage, with ASIC registering the scheme booklet and an independent expert backing the scrip deal. Shareholders now face linked votes on the takeover and the demerger of Western Australian gold assets into an unlisted company.

Lynas Rare Earths has agreed to acquire Meteoric Resources in an all-share deal valued at about A$968 million, adding the Caldeira rare earths project in Brazil to its portfolio. The proposed transaction would materially expand Lynas’ resource base, but still depends on shareholder, court and Brazilian regulatory approvals.

2 Cheap Cars has opened FY27 with a sharp lift in unaudited profit and margins, even as vehicle volumes declined. The improvement arrives alongside Sena & Co’s increased NZ$0.90-per-share takeover offer, which remains conditional on reaching 90% voting control by 30 September.

IDP Education has rejected a second, higher takeover proposal from Blackstone, saying the $2.50-per-share offer fails to capture the value of its platform and transformation program. The confidential, non-binding proposal leaves open the question of whether Blackstone will return with a revised bid.

CZR Resources has pushed back its shareholder meeting on the proposed Zuleika Gold acquisition and extended its takeover offer by 30 days. The offer now closes on 6 November, while its defeating conditions remain unresolved.

Carnaby Resources’ proposed acquisition by Evolution Mining has moved closer to completion after ASIC registered the scheme booklet and Evolution waived the ACCC clearance condition. The scrip deal still requires shareholder and Court approval, with the vote set for 26 October.

SQX Resources has raised $2.468 million before costs through a fully underwritten entitlement offer, with most new shares to be issued to the underwriter and sub-underwriters. The capital will fund exploration across its US and Queensland projects, but the deal will also expand the share count by almost 37.5%.

IVE Group has agreed to acquire digital place-based media operator Motio for approximately $20.7 million, adding more than 1,300 screens to its marketing platform. The transaction is expected to be earnings and EPS accretive, but remains subject to shareholder, Court and other conditions.

Cygnus Metals shareholders delivered overwhelming proxy support for Central Asia Metals’ proposed takeover, but the transaction still faces a Kazakhstan regulatory decision and possible court-date delay. Final poll results were not included in the chairman’s address and are expected separately.

A2MP Investments has declared its A$0.05 per share takeover offer for Canyon Resources best and final, with the bid set to close on 21 September unless a competing proposal emerges. The offer remains conditional and will lapse if its minimum acceptance condition is not met.
