Congrats where they're due. This pedigree hound is too old and tired to play with mutt companies and dislikes fireworks, quite right...I simply don't need to go there these days which I suppose is vindication of the success of my own investment methodologies over the years. That said, well done mate, you correctly called this as in play and indeed it is.

That register is so open its not funny, after Milford the next best holder has 4.88%, Acc 2.88% and then its rats and mice.
If it is FBU buying the AGM is going to be fireworks. Unfortunately I have another function in Wellington that day otherwise I would have booked my tickets this morning. Not to be missed for sure, especially with the Chair up for re-election.

NZ Steel,subsidiary of BlueScope Steel, competitor of OneSteel, is the buyer.
Now will they go for the rest?

That is the million $ question. But you have to wonder if they will be happy with a 15% stake and leave it at that? Maybe they think they can exert influence at board level?
Whatever their reasoning, if they want to take over the register, there is not much headway there at all. No blocking stakes available for the current STU board. Methinks the current board are toast whichever way the wind blows.
Unless of course NZ Steel has bought this stake as a blocking stake in itself. (ie stop FBU taking over STU). That would not be a bad strategy in itself.

Who owns NZ Steel? It doesn't appear to be listed.
Edit: Thanks Balance. you have provided the answer.
So NZ Steel is not actually a NZ company. That being the case I would view FBU as the white knight and NZ Steel as the aggressor.

OneSteel sold its 50% of STU in 2012 at $2.05.
Now Bluescope Steel buys at $1.75.
Starts getting confusing?
