Since announcing the offer, the shares have traded at or above terms. Including Oasis’ pre-tender stake, the total potential “NO” volume is 35.0m (23.51% ownership ratio), implying a 61% required minority acceptance rate. Therefore, by declaring its offer final, NEC is nudging minorities waiting on the fence for a bump to tender. Oasis is likely pursuing a fair price through appraisal rights.
