Swoop Holdings (ASX:SWP) has announced an off-market takeover offer to acquire all the ordinary shares of Vonex Limited it does not already own. However, the offer currently lacks a cash component, making it less appealing compared to a competing offer from Maxo Telecommunications. Swoop is now exploring financing options to include a cash alternative.
Swoop Holdings is working to improve its acquisition offer for Vonex Limited by exploring financing options to include a cash alternative. This strategic move aims to make their proposal more attractive compared to Maxo Telecommunications' competing offer. If successful in securing financing, Swoop will issue a notice of variation to Vonex shareholders, allowing them to reassess their acceptance of the offer. However, there are uncertainties regarding the timely acquisition of financing and its terms. Swoop remains committed to communicating any updates through a supplementary bidder's statement, ensuring compliance with the Corporations Act 2001.
The Swoop Holdings Board is actively seeking financing to introduce a cash alternative, which would potentially make their offer more competitive. The company plans to offer a cash alternative at a price higher than the current MaxoTel Offer if financing is secured on acceptable terms.
