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

A major shareholder in Ainsworth Game Technology has announced an intention to launch an unconditional, all-cash proportional takeover bid to acquire 5.5% of the ordinary shares he does not already own at $1.30 per share. The offer, which follows a previous proportional bid that closed in January 2026, represents a significant premium to recent trading prices and to a prior $1.00 per share bid from Novomatic.

The proposal will allow each shareholder, other than the bidder, to sell 5.5% of their holdings without brokerage costs while retaining exposure to future performance through the remainder of their stake. If fully accepted, the move would lift the bidder’s interest from about 8.17% to roughly 13.25%, potentially consolidating his influence in the company and providing additional liquidity and price certainty for investors who choose to participate.
