The latest announcement is out from Horizon Oil Limited ( (AU:HZN) ).
Australia’s Takeovers Panel has declined to conduct proceedings on an application by Cue Energy Resources challenging aspects of Horizon Oil Limited’s off‑market takeover bid. Cue had raised concerns over a pre‑bid agreement under which Echelon Resources agreed to sell nearly 19.99% of Cue’s shares to Horizon and signalled its intention to accept the remainder of its holdings into the offer, absent a superior proposal.
Following an undertaking from Echelon not to accept Horizon’s bid for its remaining shares before 13 April 2026, the Panel found no reasonable prospect of unacceptable circumstances arising from Echelon’s intention statement, alleged insider participation, or claimed contraventions of consultancy agreements. It also found insufficient material to infer an association between Horizon and Echelon, a decision that effectively clears a regulatory obstacle to Horizon’s takeover bid and provides greater certainty for shareholders in the ongoing contest for control of Cue.
