Details surrounding the Warehouse takeover offer have been revealed.
Australian private equity firm Adamantem Capital Management has offered to buy the business for $1.50 to $1.70 a share, valuing it at a total of $590 million.
Greg Smith from Devon Funds Management has labelled this move 'opportunistic' as the retail sector struggles.
"They haven't even got a CEO - it does seem to be quite opportunistic, particularly if you've got a ray of light for the retail sector if we do get that rate cut from RBNZ."
