I seemed to remember something about Navitas having a veto over a RKH sale, so resorted to using Ask Leo (no relation).
Yes, Navitas Petroleum has a mechanism that effectively gives it veto power over a takeover of Rockhopper Exploration under certain conditions. According to the terms of the Placing Letters signed by Rockhopper, if a takeover offer becomes unconditional or a scheme of arrangement is sanctioned by the court, the Placees (including Navitas) are entitled to elect to acquire their Placing Shares, Underwriting Warrants, and Interest Shares within 10 business days of the offer document being posted to shareholders.
This election is conditional on the takeover becoming unconditional or the scheme being sanctioned, but it allows Navitas to participate in or potentially block the transaction by exercising its rights under the agreement. This provision ensures Navitas retains influence over the outcome of any potential takeover, effectively giving it a veto power in such scenarios.
