“Absent of a superior offer” - Looks like it is bid number 1, well let’s hope it is🤔
Atlantic Lithium agrees to $292m takeover by Huayou Cobalt
[1:40 pm] Atlantic Lithium has entered a binding Scheme Implementation Deed this morning with China's Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt for an all-cash acquisition of the Africa-focused lithium developer.
Cash consideration of US$0.25486 per share (A$0.354), valuing Atlantic Lithium at approximately US$210m (A$292m)
Offer represents a 26.6% premium to the last close of $0.280
Board unanimously recommends shareholders vote in favour, absent a superior proposal and subject to an independent expert concluding the Scheme is in shareholders' best interests
Largest shareholder Assore International (~26.4% stake) intends to vote in favour, subject to the same conditions
We're starting to see some fairly encouraging deals within the lithium sector, including the European Lithium ($835m bid from Critical Metals) and Global Lithium (China's Lopal Tech to provide maximum pre-payment of US$75m for offtake that won't be delivered until 1Q28).
