If round one went to the directors, it looks as if round two will go to Kerry Packer and Publishing and Broadcasting. The takeover battle for Burswood Casino, as we explained in issue 153/Jun 04 (Hold for the Upside—$1.45), resembles a delicately poised game of chess. But, after scaring the shareholders who were holding out, PBL announced a slightly higher offer of $1.46 per share. Various conditions attached to it have been removed and the deadline has been extended to July 16. However, shareholders who accept will only get the six-cent increase if the Burswood board recommends the offer and PBL gets 90% of the acceptances. We can’t see Packer increasing the offer again. But there’s no rush at the moment so we recommend subscribers HOLD for now and see what the board says.
