As you may be aware, on 24 August 2023 BlackWall Limited ACN 146 935 131 (ASX:BWF) ( BWF ) announced an off-market takeover offer ( Takeover Offer ) for all of the ordinary shares in Pelorus Private Equity Limited ACN 091 209 639 ( Pelorus ).
The Offer closed on 17 November 2023.
BWF has received acceptances totalling 98.50% of Pelorus and now intends to exercise its right to compulsorily acquire the remaining Pelorus shares in which BWF does not have a relevant interest under the compulsory acquisition provisions of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Corporations Act ).
The compulsory acquisition will be on the same terms as the Takeover Offer (ie consideration of 1 BWF share for every 3 of your Pelorus shares).
On completion of the compulsory acquisition procedure, BWF will issue the consideration for your Pelorus shares directly to you. Subject to the Corporations Act, this is expected to occur around 5 to 6 weeks after the date of this letter.
