  • Back in mid-2025, the Abercrombie Group (TAG), the family office of Andrew Abercrombie, tabled a A$0.58/share NBIO, by way of a Scheme for humm (HUM AU). Abercrombie then held 26.6%.

  • Matters then muddied, considerably, for the non-bank lender. First from disgruntled activist/shareholders seeking a board spill; then the Takeovers Panel waded in over shareholders being misled on a competing Offer.

  • That rival Offer, A$0.77/share Scheme or A$0.72 off-market, both NBIOs, was from Credit Corp (CCP AU). Due diligence is nearing completion. Does CCP firm terms or walk?

humm is illiquid. Look away now if not your thing.


The Trade

  • Downside appears limited here - ~8% to where shares traded shortly after TAG walked away from its Offer last November.

  • I’m guessing no new developments until after the 13th May board-spill EGM, unless adjourned. Again.

  • If small, illiquid arbs are your thing, I might get some exposure around here, towards loading up on any material weakness.

  • An off-market Offer from CCP appears its best bet - but still a huge challenge. Unless it bumps terms.
