Brian Gilbertson's Pallinghurst Resources Australia Ltd has potentially dealt a fatal blow to a rival takeover bid for Consolidated Minerals Ltd. The Pallinghurst's revised, unconditional, final offer matches Palmary Enterprises Ltd's bid of $4.50 per ConsMin share, valuing the diversified miner at $1.03 billion. Pallinghurst has also accelerated its payment terms and revised a top-up payment mechanism, which now applies to any higher cash offer made by Palmary for ConsMin shares by January 24 next year. The top-up effectively extinguishes the differences between the highest all-cash offer price Palmary may subsequently announce and the cash component of Pallinghurst's latest offer. ConsMin asked for further details on the top-up payment after it was announced in early September.
