Your Directors believe that Avoca’s
Offer is inadequate on the basis that it does not fully value your Dioro Shares
and is opportunistically timed.
KPMG, the Independent Expert, has
assessed that the value of a Dioro Share is in the range of $1.40 to $2.28,
with a preferred value of $1.88, and concluded that the Offer is NOTFAIR AND ISNOTREASONABLE.
Your Directors unanimously recommend
that you REJECT Avoca’s unsolicited,
undervalued and opportunistic all scrip Offer. Your Directors recommend that
you take NOACTION in relation to documents or phone calls received from Avoca.
The detailed reasons for the
recommendation of rejecting the Offer are set out in Section 2 of the Target’s
Statement.
Your Directors intend rejecting the
Offer in respect of their personal holdings of Dioro Shares.
To reject the Avoca Offer, you should
simply DO NOTHINGand IGNORE all documentation sent to
you by Avoca.
You are encouraged to carefully read the
Target’s Statement in its entirety and to also read the Bidder’s Statement for
more details about the Offer and about Avoca.
Please refer to the announcements section of this website to view
