The public offer of Ft 1,789 per share, approved by the MNB on Tuesday, is valid from September 26 to October 31. The offer follows 4iG’s acquisition of a 74% stake in Rába earlier this month, which triggered a legal obligation to bid for the remaining 25% of shares. While the board’s rejection may influence investor sentiment, 4iG stresses that the offer is regulatory in nature and not aimed at delisting Rába. Shareholders seeking an exit are nevertheless offered a premium to the current market price. Rába shares ended Wednesday trading 4% higher at Ft 2,200. Rába has called an EGM for September 30.
