Equiniti will contact remaining Assura shareholders to explain how they can claim their consideration. For shareholders in restricted territories, their share entitlements will be sold in the market with net proceeds remitted to them.

PHP indicated it will make a further announcement Thursday confirming the admission of new shares has become effective.

The company stated there have been no material changes affecting matters contained in PHP’s June 13 announcement as supplemented by the recommended offer announcement of June 23.
