Larvotto has a Scheme Implementation Deed (SID) with Hammer, under which it intends to acquire all Hammer shares through a scrip-based transaction.

Larvotto highlights its strong financial position and the strategic significance of its Hillgrove project, emphasizing the potential benefits for Hammer shareholders in accepting the Larvotto offer over Austral's.
