On January 30, 2019, Allensford Pty Ltd announced that it has extended its on-market takeover offer for The Reject Shop until March 5, 2019, almost a full month later than the first extension of February 6, 2019, and approximately 2 weeks after the Company is due to announce first-half results for financial year 2019. Allensford stated that the extension ensures shareholders would be informed about the business’s current trading performance when they vote on the proposal.
