Third of GSS shareholders accept ACT offer

BANGKOK, March 28 (Reuters) - Thai integrated circuit
producer GSS Array Technology Plc said on Tuesday
shareholders owning 31 percent of its equity had so far
agreed to accept a 163 baht per share takeover offer by ACT
Manufacturing Inc (NasdaqNM:ACTM - news).

GSS President James Menges said in a statement to the Stock
Exchange of Thailand the shareholders, including the firm's
directors, had promised to accept ACT's offer even if higher
offers emerged. GSS directors now own 23 percent of the
company.

GSS shares were up two baht at 136.00 on Tuesday morning.

GSS said on March 16 it would delist from the Thai bourse by
early August if shareholders voted to sell its 21.11 million
shares to ACT.

Menges said GSS would hold a special shareholders meeting on
April 28 to consider ACT's offer and its proposed de-listing
which would require approval by at least 75 percent of its
shareholders with less than 10 percent of them objecting.

He said ACT's friendly takeover tender offer would be open
from May 18 to July 20. Those selling shares would be paid on
July 25.

ACT is a Nasdaq-listed electronics manufacturer with
operations in Ireland, Mexico and the United States.
