On the 15 August, mapping technology outfit Nearmap Ltd (NEA AU) unanimously backed Thoma Bravo's A$2.10/share Offer by way of a Scheme of Arrangement. 
The Scheme Booklet has now been lodged with ASIC. The Independent Expert reckons the Offer is fair and reasonable. 
The Scheme Meeting will be held on the 25 November, as previously flagged in August's SID, with an expected implementation on the 15 December. 


Nearmap (NEA AU): 25 Nov Scheme Meeting. IE Says Fair & Reasonable

<ul>
<li>The IE considers Thoma Bravo’s A$2.10 offer fair and reasonable as it is within its valuation range of A$1.94 to A$2.45 per share (but the below the midpoint of A$2.20). </li>
<li>The spread has risen due to suggestions that some investors aim to block the scheme. These investors aim for a bump but will likely settle for the offer if unsuccessful. </li>
<li>At <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/nearmap-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:5142:1" rel="noopener">Nearmap Ltd (NEA AU)</a>'s last close price and for the 15 December payment, the gross and annualised spread is 5.8% and 44.5%, respectively.</li>
