Augmentum Fintech PLC ( (GB:AUGM) ) has provided an update.

Augmentum Fintech PLC has confirmed details of the recommended cash offer by Frontier Bidco Limited, a vehicle controlled by Verdane, to acquire the company via a court-approved scheme of arrangement under the UK Companies Act. The London-listed fintech investor also reiterated its share capital structure, noting 167,280,902 voting shares in issue outside treasury.

The company disclosed that Asset Value Investors Ltd has sold its entire holding of Augmentum shares, meaning its previous letter of intent to support the takeover is no longer effective. As a result, the proportion of shares subject to irrevocable undertakings or letters of intent has dropped to about 6.7% of Augmentum’s issued ordinary share capital, modestly reducing visible locked-in support for the acquisition ahead of shareholder votes.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:AUGM) stock is a Buy with a £1.10 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Augmentum Fintech PLC stock, see the GB:AUGM Stock Forecast page.
