Reef Casino ( (AU:RCT) ) has issued an update.

Iris Cairns Property Pty Ltd, as trustee for the Iris Cairns Property Trust, has issued a third supplementary bidder’s statement for its off-market takeover offer for all units in Reef Casino Trust. The move follows ongoing regulatory suitability investigations by Queensland’s Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation into Iris’s association with the ownership and management of a Queensland casino.

In response to updated regulatory timing, Iris has formally extended the offer period to 14 August 2026 to allow sufficient time for the completion of OLGR investigations and subsequent ministerial approvals. The extension aligns with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s 12‑month completion window, and Iris indicates it may later choose to waive remaining conditions and make the offer unconditional, enabling unitholders who accept to receive the $3.87 per‑unit cash consideration within one month of that decision.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:RCT) stock is a Hold with a A$3.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Reef Casino stock, see the AU:RCT Stock Forecast page.
