Costa Mulls Paine Schwartz’s Lower Bid

By David Blennerhassett

  • Back on the 4 July, Paine Schwartz Partners (PSP) made an A$3.50/share NBIO for Costa Group (CGC AU) by way of a Scheme.  PSP held 14.84% at the time.
  • The due diligence period came and went, or so it appeared, but Costa said it remained ongoing.  Rumours circulated that PSP had gone cold. 1H23 results were also delayed. 
  • Costa has now announced this morning that PSP has returned with a $3.20/share Offer – best and final – reduced for any permitted dividend of up to A$0.04, if declared.
