The latest update is out from Apiam Animal Health Ltd. ( (AU:AHX) ).

Apiam Animal Health Limited has completed its scheme of arrangement under which it has been acquired by Pepper Holdco Limited and Pepper Bidco Pty Ltd, entities managed by Adamantem Capital, and has become a wholly owned subsidiary of BidCo. The transaction marks Apiam’s transition from an ASX-listed company to private ownership, with the group set to be delisted from the exchange.

Under the scheme, shareholders received a fully franked special dividend of $0.10 per share and a choice of all-cash, all-scrip or mixed consideration, with cash payments generally at $0.77 or $0.87 per share depending on elections and adjustments. The final election outcome meant the cap on scrip issuance was not reached, avoiding any scaleback of HoldCo shares, while the board and company secretary saw significant changes as Adamantem-installed directors joined ahead of Apiam’s removal from the ASX official list.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:AHX) stock is a Hold with a A$0.94 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Apiam Animal Health Ltd. stock, see the AU:AHX Stock Forecast page.
