Rakon Says Bourns Receives Over 90% Acceptance, Declares Takeover Offer Unconditional

By

-- Rakon (NZE:RAK) said Bourns has received acceptances in respect of more than 90% of Rakon shares, satisfying the minimum acceptance condition under its NZ$1.55 per share takeover offer, with Bourns declaring the offer unconditional, according to a Friday New Zealand bourse filing.

The company said shareholders and holders of share rights who accepted the offer on or before May 1 will be paid by no later than May 8, while those accepting after May 1 will be paid within five working days of Bourns receiving their acceptance.

The offer has automatically been extended under the Takeovers Code and now closes on May 15, given that the minimum acceptance condition was satisfied in the last six working days of the original offer period, the filing added.

EMEA Oil Update: Brent Surges as Strait of Hormuz Blockade Drags On

Global energy markets remain on edge as Brent crude futures climbed on Friday fueled by hardening rhetoric from both Tehran and Washington.The Brent futures contract gained 1.4% to $111.95 per barrel. Murban closed at $109.92 on April 30 and was not trading as of the time of publishing this oil price update."Brent Crude remains elevated after hitting a wartime high on Thursday, with no sign that US and Iranian blockades of the Strait of Hormuz will be lifted anytime soon, prolonging and worsening the supply squeeze," Saxo Bank analysts said.As the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz enters its third month, the prospect of a swift resolution has dimmed, with Iran's new Supreme Leader and the US administration both doubling down on their respective positions.Iran's new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, signaled a hardline shift in Tehran's policy.Khamenei reportedly vowed that the Islamic Republic would not abandon its nuclear or missile technologies, explicitly stating that Iran intends to maintain its grip on the Strait of Hormuz.Simultaneously, US President Trump has maintained a firm stance on the blockade of Iranian ports, despite the resulting upward pressure on global oil prices.Meanwhile, the wait-and-see period for the paper markets may be ending."The gap between the paper and physical markets is narrowing as tightness begins to materialise for the first time since the conflict began," ANZ analysts said.

Australia Should Push Through Higher Export Taxes on Gas Despite Japanese Lobbying, IEEFA Says

Australia's plans to raise export taxes on gas have prompted lobbying against this from Japan, one of its key buyers, but the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis argued on Thursday that Australia should stand firm on the issue.The issue is a pressing one given that Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi will make an official visit to the country in the coming days, with a high likelihood that gas policy will form part of the agenda.IEEFA points out that Japan's interest in preventing an export tax rise by Australia is more related to commercial interests, which the institute argues should take second place to supply security for all parties in the midst of an energy crisis.In the context of gas shortages ahead in Australia's domestic market, all the more so if exports continue or are increased, IEEFA says that Australia's priority should be defence of its own consumers and not the commercial interests of other parties."Lobbying by the Japanese government and companies may reflect energy security concerns, at least in part, but it is also clearly motivated by commercial opportunities," the IEEFA report said."In recent years Japanese companies have invested in LNG import and gas infrastructure across South and South-East Asia as part of government plans to increase LNG demand across the region, with LNG sales by Japanese companies increasing over recent years," it said.It noted that while Australian policy changes could affect Japan's commercial interests, they posed no threat to its security of energy supply.Japanese liquefied natural gas resales in 2024 were 44 million metric tons, about 1.7 times the size of Australian imports that year, according to the Japanese Organisation for Metals and Energy Security.Japan sold an estimated 598-756 petajoules of Australian LNG to other markets in 2025."[A]mid emerging supply security concerns, it is crucial that Australian policy-makers recognise the commercial motivations underpinning Japan's lobbying," the report concluded."Australia can implement a domestic gas policy that ensures security of supply at home without impacting on Japan's energy security. The only question is whether policymakers will have the courage to protect domestic gas users."

Indian Finance Companies Have Ample Buffers Against Oil Shock, S&P Says

S&P Global Ratings expects its rated Indian finance companies (finks) to have ample capital and earnings cushion to mitigate the effects of the oil shock, according to a recent release.Indian finches' regulatory capital adequacy would endure even a doubling of nonperforming loans, according to S&P credit analyst Greta Chugh.However, two companies would observe significant declines and face downgrades on S&P's risk-adjusted capital basis, the analyst said.Earnings would also suffer under sharply declining asset quality, Chugh said.The rating agency's risk assessment for the sector or some companies could erode if asset quality risks are structural rather than a one-off shock.S&P does not forecast a prolonged oil shock or a major constraint on India's economic growth, but a downward scenario of a lingering shock would hit growth and employment as well as squeeze fincos' credit costs and profitability.Household repayment capacity could gradually decline amid higher inflation and less disposable income, S&P said.Stress will likely first hit small-ticket unsecured segments, commercial vehicle loans, and Microfinance, with gradual spillover effects on secured products such as vehicle loans and affordable housing, Chugh said.
