Why is the Link share price halted?
Prior to the market open, the company requested the Link share price be halted while it prepares an announcement.
The company says it is planning to release a statement on or before Wednesday 14 September.
The request for the voluntary trading halt is in regards to an "update on the regulatory approvals which are conditions precedent to the scheme of arrangement with Dye & Durham Corporation."
Last week, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) gave the go-ahead for Canadian-listed Dye & Durham to acquire Link.
The latest offer comprises of $4.81 per share which Link shareholders accepted with a 98% majority in late August.
In addition, Link shareholders will receive a net consideration of up to 13 cents per share from the sale of its Banking and Credit Management (BCM) business. Although, this is provided that the business is sold and proceeds are received up to 12 months after the implementation of the revised scheme.
