Market Alert : Ongoing Middle East Tensions Shake Investor Sentiment Globally

Pengana International Equities Unveils Buy-Back and Antipodes Transition Plan

Pengana International Equities Limited (ASX: PIA) has announced a strategic capital management proposal to reduce its persistent discount to net tangible assets (NTA) while providing shareholders with greater flexibility and liquidity options. The proposal includes an equal-access off-market buyback at after-tax NTA, less transaction costs, alongside fully franked special and quarterly dividend payments.

Under the proposal, shareholders may choose to exit through the buy-back or remain invested as the company transitions its portfolio management to Antipodes Global Investment Management. The transition would introduce Antipodes’ global SMID-cap equities strategy, which focuses on small- and mid-cap international companies with a capital-preservation approach. The board stated that the initiative is designed to deliver transparent liquidity, tax-efficient shareholder returns, and improved long-term investment performance. Following the buy-back, Pengana may also launch a non-renounceable rights issue for continuing investors and explore ongoing discount management measures, including rolling quarterly buy-backs. The Extraordinary General Meeting to approve the proposal is expected to take place around mid-2026.
