The offer is unconditional and is due to commence at the start of trading on the Australian Securities Exchange on June 30 and close on July 30, unless extended or withdrawn. Frasers says Accent shareholders can begin selling shares into the offer on-market from June 15 through its broker, with settlement in cash two trading days after sale. The Accent bid comes after on Wednesday last week, Frasers announced a voluntary public takeover offer for the remaining stake in Hugo Boss AG that it does not already own. Frasers, which holds around a 26% stake in the German fashion company, offered €38.00 per share, valuing the remaining stake at around €1.98 billion. The company said it expects the Hugo Boss transaction to complete in the second half of 2026. ---------- AEP Plantations, up 3.7% at 1,704.00 pence, 12-month range 809.20p-2,290.00p.

External FFB purchases rise 6.5% to 524,000 tonnes, helped by the inclusion of the recently acquired Pinago Group. The average crude palm oil ex-mill price slips 2.2% to $859 per tonne, while palm kernel prices rise 8.1% to $802 per tonne. The owner, operator and developer of palm oil plantations in Indonesia and Malaysia says construction of its ninth mill in Kalimantan remains on track for commissioning in December, while a planned initial public offering of its Kalimantan subsidiary remains targeted for the fourth quarter of 2026. The company says it remains confident of meeting market expectations this year. ---------- Copyright 2026 Alliance News Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
