DTI Group Receives $0.012 Takeover Bid From Existing Shareholder Finico
DTI Group receives $0.012 per share takeover bid from Finico
DTI Group has received an on-market takeover offer from Finico Pty Ltd, an existing shareholder acting as trustee for The Morris Family Trust. The bidder lodged its formal statement on 14 April 2026, proposing to acquire all DTI shares it does not already own at $0.012 per share. The Board has instructed shareholders to take no action at this stage whilst it reviews the proposal.
Takeover bids can signal perceived undervaluation or strategic interest in a company’s technology assets and market position. The offer price will be assessed against DTI’s underlying value and future prospects in the independent expert’s report.

What is an on-market takeover bid?
An on-market takeover bid allows the acquiring party to purchase shares directly through the ASX at a stated price during a defined offer period. Shareholders can choose to accept the offer by selling their shares into the bid at the nominated price, or they can decline by taking no action.
Target companies are legally required to issue a target’s statement that includes the board’s recommendation and typically features an independent expert’s assessment. This process ensures shareholders receive professional guidance when evaluating whether to accept or reject the offer.
Understanding the mechanics and timeline of takeover bids helps investors assess their options and make informed decisions about when, and whether, to participate.
Board to provide formal recommendation
The DTI Board will now review Finico’s bidder’s statement and assess the offer terms. A target’s statement will be issued to all shareholders in due course, providing the Board’s formal recommendation on whether shareholders should accept the $0.012 per share proposal.
The target’s statement will include an independent expert’s report evaluating whether the offer represents fair and reasonable value for DTI shareholders. This independent assessment provides an objective benchmark against which shareholders can measure the bid.
Expected process:
- Board reviews bidder’s statement and offer terms
- Target’s statement issued to all DTI shareholders
- Independent expert’s report assessing offer fairness included
- Shareholders make decision before offer closing date
Shareholders will receive the target’s statement with sufficient time to consider their alternatives before the offer period closes.
The independent expert’s report will provide crucial analysis of DTI’s valuation, helping shareholders determine whether the offer adequately reflects the company’s technology capabilities, market position, and growth prospects.
