Last year, after a long-running battle, PPCS finally regained a majority stake in Richmond and now holds a 62.9% stake in its former rival.


The latest offer from PPCS is valued at NZ$3.11 (US$1.94) per share and is conditional on PPCS receiving enough acceptances to reach the 90% shareholding level that would trigger a compulsory acquisition of the remaining Richmond shares, reported Dow Jones News.
