Dagsbrn gets 77% of Wyndeham shares

The deadline for Icelandic firm Dagsbrn to acquire 90% of Wyndehams shares has been extended to 8 May.

The first closing date of the offer ended on 18 April with Dagsbrn having acquired 77% of Wyndeham's existing issued share capital. But the company has yet to acquire the remaining 855,000 shares. It is now being extended for a further 14 days.

According to Wyndeham chief operating officer Roy Kingston, it would "take a while for the acquirer to get all the shares" but "steady progress" was being made.

Dagsbrn made a recommended cash offer for Wyndeham through its subsidiary Daybreak Acquisitions on 24 March.
