Novomatic extends Ainsworth takeover deadline for third time

The offer was previously set to close on January 30.


Australia.- The slot manufacturer Ainsworth Game Technology Ltd has confirmed that Novomatic AG has extended the deadline for its proposed acquisition of the company for the third time. The offer, previously to close at 7.00pm Sydney time on January 30, has been extended to 7.00pm on February 6 unless the proposal is withdrawn.

The unconditional takeover offer of AUD1.00 (US$0.69) per share was launched in August. Austria-based Novomatic, together with its founder Johann Graf, currently holds 66.59 per cent of Ainsworth’s shares, leaving the remaining 33.41 per cent subject to the offer.

In September 2025, Ainsworth reported that an independent board committee had unanimously advised shareholders to accept Novomatic’s offer. In October, the company said it had also received a proportionate offer from Kjerulf Ainsworth, a son of the company’s founder, for 2.9 per cent of shareholders’ holdings.
