Rakon ( (NZ:RAK) ) has issued an update.

Bourns, Inc., a substantial product holder in Rakon, has continued increasing its stake through a full cash takeover offer launched in February at $1.55 per share. Following further acceptances from Rakon shareholders, Bourns now has a relevant interest in 178.9 million shares, representing 77.843% of Rakon’s ordinary shares.

The latest increase of 6.97 million shares since 24 March reflects a movement of more than 1% in Bourns’ holding, tightening its control over the NZX-listed company.
