Echelon Agrees to Delay Accepting Horizon’s Takeover Bid for Cue Energy

Cue Energy Resources Limited ( (AU:CUE) ) has provided an announcement.

The Takeovers Panel has accepted an undertaking from Echelon Resources Limited, a Cue shareholder, in connection with Cue Energy Resources Limited’s application concerning Horizon Oil Limited’s off‑market takeover bid. Under the undertaking, Echelon has agreed not to accept Horizon’s offer for any Cue shares it holds or controls, other than those already subject to a pre‑bid agreement, until at least 13 April 2026.

The restriction on Echelon’s ability to tender its shares effectively pauses a potentially significant block of acceptances into Horizon’s bid in the short term. This delay may influence the bid’s momentum and gives regulators, Cue’s board and other stakeholders additional time to assess the offer terms and any implications for control of the company and its shareholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:CUE) stock is a Hold with a A$0.16 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Cue Energy Resources Limited stock, see the AU:CUE Stock Forecast page.
