Bye Bye Maca. They've got to 90%, it will be now compulsory acquisition for remaining shareholders at $1.075. No dividend, no franking credits. I'm very puzzled how they managed to get to over 90% with the lousy offer. The offer was officially closed on Friday, and in yesterday's change of interest notice they had 84.20%. And just a week before that, they were barely over 50%. How come that they extended the offer yesterday, and suddenly, in less than 24 hours, so many shareholders eagerly mailed their acceptance forms to get to 91.48% (and therefore to 100%)? Will someone audit those acceptance forms? Director's cheering (for their own interest) and propaganda announcements certainly helped to sway some undecided shareholders. But with retail-heavy shareholders base there would be certainly a high percent of those not bothering to lodge their acceptance, some shares unable to vote (e.g. deceased estates or liquidated trusts), and I was pretty sure there were many shareholders still holding (me included, with 5-figure number). To get so easy overnight to 90% just doesn't make sense.

Directors shares and the institutionals all bit the dust early and retail investors just unfortunately need to follow.... I hope AFR journos read these forums and can start asking more questions on takeovers on ASX.... I have Nearmap and Livetiles and majority on here upset with board recommendations
