After months of wrangling and shareholder protests, Seven has finally closed the book on its acquisition of wireless ISP Unwired.
Media company Seven's plan to acquire WiMax spectrum-holders Unwired appears to have been a success, with Seven's various holding companies now holding over 50 percent of Unwired shares.
A small group of investors in Unwired are calling on their peers to reject the AU$127 million takeover offer made by Seven, claiming that the offer undervalues the potential that WiMax spectrum offers.
Seven has extended its takeover offer for WiMax spectrum holder Unwired a fourth time, as it edges achingly close to the 90 percent acceptance required for whole ownership of the business.
The bulk of shareholders in ASX-listed Unwired are yet to respond to Seven's proposed takeover of the wireless company, with only 21 percent of shareholders accepting the AU$127 million deal to date.
A good merger always gets the pulse racing -- and Seven's takeover of Unwired could be shaping up to be one of the most interesting for a while.
