Bourns, Inc. has reported that acceptances for its takeover offer for all ordinary shares and certain long-term incentive share rights in Rakon have reached 80.359% of the company’s issued shares as of 8 April 2026. The offer has also achieved high acceptance levels across multiple classes of Rakon’s share rights, with several categories, including certain FY2025 and FY2026 share rights, now at 100% acceptance, indicating strong shareholder support and increasing likelihood of a successful change of control.
