After a tense seven months, RDC Properties’ attempted hostile takeover of PrimeTime Properties has entered the moment of truth, as investors on both sides prepare to weigh the offer on the table.

According to documents shared with investors via the Botswana Stock Exchange (BSE), RDC recently revised the initial offer it tentatively put to PrimeTime unitholders in late June. Now, in the formal offer, known as a Firm Intention Announcement and officially submitted on August 21, RDC is seeking to snap up at least 44% equity in PrimeTime by making an offer directly to unitholders.

RDC is offering PrimeTime investors who take up the offer, 0.6875 RDC units for each PrimeTime unit they hold.
