Gold One International (ASX: GDO, JSE: GDO) shareholders continue to accept the A$0.55 per share cash takeover offer by BCX Gold, a consortium of Chinese investors, at speed - with the consortium now holding an interest of over 59%.
This places the consortium just shy of the target minimum 60% stake, with the offer in total a very interesting one and comprises a series of interdependent transactions.
This includes the cash offer and a minimum A$150 million capital injection into the company by the consortium - which is seeking to become the major shareholder and long term strategic partner.
The funding boost will provide a major springboard for the development of the company.
The deadline for acceptance is Thursday 15 December 2011 deadline, with parties accepting the offer to be paid the consideration on Friday 23 December.
