If the Scheme is approved by the requisite majority of Altium shareholders, there will be the second court hearing at the Supreme Court of New South Wales (“Court”) on July 18, 2024 (AEST) to consider whether to approve the Scheme.
The implementation date of the Scheme is expected to be August 1, 2024 (JST/AEST), subject to customary closing conditions. An announcement will be made on August 1, 2024 (JST/AEST) when the acquisition is implemented.
