Ainsworth Game Technology ( (AU:AGI) ) has provided an announcement.

Ainsworth Game Technology shareholder Kjerulf David Hastings Ainsworth has issued a second supplementary bidder’s statement in relation to his off-market takeover bid for 5.5% of the company’s ordinary shares, further detailing his position on governance matters. He supports Novomatic’s proposed constitutional changes tightening director remuneration and interest disclosure, signalling a push for stronger governance standards at the gaming group.

However, he opposes Novomatic’s proposal to renew proportional takeover approval provisions, arguing it would restrict the ability of parties, including himself, to make proportional bids without prior shareholder approval. He warns this could entrench existing control, reduce contestability for AGI’s ownership, and limit future takeover alternatives available to shareholders, with potential implications for the company’s strategic flexibility and market dynamics.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:AGI) stock is a Hold with a A$1.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Ainsworth Game Technology stock, see the AU:AGI Stock Forecast page.
