Ainsworth Game Technology Faces New Acquisition Bid
Ainsworth Game Technology 面臨新收購提案
The ownership of Ainsworth Game Technology (AGT) is currently caught in a high-stakes corporate tug-of-war.
安斯沃思遊戲科技公司的股權目前陷入一場高風險的企業拔河戰中。
As of March 2026, Austrian gaming giant Novomatic AG, which already holds a 66.6% majority stake, continues its persistent effort to acquire the remaining shares.
截至2026年3月，已持有66.6%多數股權的奧地利遊戲巨頭諾沃馬蒂克持續堅持收購剩餘股份。
Novomatic has proposed an off-market bid of AUD 1.00 per share, a move initially supported by the Independent Board Committee.
諾沃馬蒂克提出了每股1.00澳元的場外收購報價，此舉最初獲得了獨立董事委員會的支持。
Kjerulf Ainsworth, son of the company founder, has launched a strategic counter-move.
公司創始人之子克傑魯夫·安斯沃思發動了一項策略性的反擊。
His second proportional takeover bid offers AUD 1.30 per share for 5.5% of minority holdings.
他的第二次比例收購要約以每股1.30澳元的價格收購5.5%的少數股權。
This price represents a significant premium over Novomatic's offer and market trading prices.
此價格比諾沃馬蒂克的報價及市場交易價格高出許多溢價。
By offering a higher valuation, Kjerulf is not only providing liquidity to shareholders but also effectively complicating Novomatic's goal of reaching 100% ownership.
透過提供更高的估值，克傑魯夫不僅為股東提供了流動性，還有效地增加了諾沃馬蒂克達到100%持股目標的難度。
For minority shareholders, the situation offers a complex choice between the certainty of Novomatic’s bid and the immediate financial benefit of the premium offered by the Ainsworth family's counter-strategy.
對小股東而言，面對諾沃馬蒂克的確切報價與安斯沃思家族反擊策略所帶來的立即性財務利益，這是一個兩難的抉擇。
