The offer for Eroad came as other New Zealand tech firms attracted overseas interest, such as the recent takeover of Pushpay which ended up going ahead after a revised offer. Mander said it was at a "really early stage" but some of the reaction the association had heard was that the offer to buy Eroad did not fully value the company's opportunities.Įroad declined an interview request with RNZ to discuss the takeover offer. "I've got no doubt that the company will be looking to apply appropriate governance processes to ensure that there is fair value received by any shareholders. That means that the bidder itself is looking to do further due diligence," he said. "This is a non-binding, indicative offer. Mander stressed it was still early days but said some shareholders may be unhappy with the offer.
