Ainsworth Game Technology ( (AU:AGI) ) has issued an update.

Ainsworth Game Technology has become the target of a second off‑market takeover bid by its founder, Kjerulf David Hastings Ainsworth, who is seeking to acquire a further 5.5% of the company’s fully paid ordinary shares at an offer price of $1.30 per share. The bid follows completion of the dispatch of the original bidder’s statement to eligible shareholders and could incrementally increase Mr Ainsworth’s stake and influence over the gaming group.

The offer is now open for acceptance until 7:00 p.m. Sydney time on 27 April 2026, providing shareholders a defined window to tender their stock into the partial bid. The bidder has also obtained targeted relief from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, allowing more flexible timing for disclosure of his relevant interest and past share purchases, which facilitates his ability to acquire shares on‑market at or below the offer price ahead of and during the offer period.
