MAINBOARD-LISTED City Developments has secured irrevocable undertakings to accept its takeover offer for Millennium & Copthorne Hotels for 43.48 per cent of M&C shares it does not already own, down from the 43.58 per cent figure disclosed on June 7, the company announced in a bourse filing on Thursday.
The slight decrease arose because minority shareholder IVA disposed 117,437 M&C shares that were subject to the irrevocable undertaking on June 19. IVA is no longer able to accept or procure the acceptance of CDL's offer in relation to those shares.
