Global Equity Research Ltd

<li>I Squared won the <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/ooh-media-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:8662:1" rel="noopener">oOh!Media Ltd (OML AU)</a>'s auction with a binding A$1.70 offer (A$1.68 cash plus a A$0.02 dividend). That is a 100% premium to the undisturbed A$0.85 price.</li>
<li>No shareholder holds a blocking stake, and substantial holders should support the premium. The independent expert found the scheme fair and reasonable, valuing oOh! at A$1.59–A$1.78 per share.</li>
<li>The ACCC cleared the deal unconditionally. For FIRB and NZ OIO approval, the risk is timing, not outcome. A 0.9% gross spread points to a done deal. </li>
