Readytech Holdings Ltd (RDY.AU) saw its stock price surge 21.64% during intraday trading on Monday, following news of significant acquisition interest in the company.
The sharp rise came after the company confirmed it received an unsolicited, non-binding indicative proposal from Total Specific Solutions, which included a $2 per share scheme and a $1.75 per share off-market bid. Additionally, Topicus.com Inc. announced a revised proposal to acquire Readytech, indicating multiple parties are interested in the company.
Despite the board rejecting the unsolicited non-binding proposal from Total Specific Solutions, the market reacted positively to the acquisition interest, driving the stock price significantly higher as investors anticipated potential premium offers for their shares.
