TASK shareholders can choose to receive either 100% cash consideration at A$0.81 per share or a mix of cash and PAR shares
The cash consideration represents a 103% premium to TASK's closing price on 8 March 2023.
Alternatively, shareholders can opt for up to 50% in PAR shares at a ratio of 0.015 PAR Shares for each TASK share, with the balance in cash.
