There are 14 days to complain about the compulsory acquisition. Some of the reasons are: 1. Existing note/debt holders had already made commitments to Allegro to purchase their shares prior to the public offer. 2. The Payment to the debt holders included some consideration for their shareholding which was to the detriment of minority shareholders given the failure for any takeover premium which is highly unusual if all recent takeovers are considered! 3. The board made no effort to solicit a superior bid. 4. The board was aware of Allegros control of over 90% of SGH before the bid was launched 5. Oppression of the minority shareholders due to the structuring of the offer. 6. Had a lower figure been paid to purchase the debt and a higher figure for the shares only the minority shareholders of less than 10% would have beneffited due to teh cross holdings between debt and equity. 7. Rubns role on the reserve bank was a conflict of interest in getting the transaction completed so she could exit the building. Please add to the list. Who is going to lodge the complaint?

Interesting to note this (Bidders statement dated 3 March 2023):https://cdn-api.markitdigital.com/apiman-gateway/ASX/asx-research/1.0/file/2924-02639697-3A614282?access_token=83ff96335c2d45a094df02a206a39ff4 10.10 Due diligence on Slater and Gordon . For the purposes of confirming its assessment whether or not to acquire all SGH shares, Allegro BidCo was given access by Slater & Gordon to certain, limited information concerning Slater & Gordon which has not been disclosed generally. All in my opinion and not investment advice. Do your own research.
