AGL says it’s determined to go ahead with the merger despite the purchase, which has made Cannon-Brookes the company’s largest single shareholder

“We have purchased this substantial interest in the company because we fundamentally believe there can be a better future for AGL,” Cannon-Brookes said in a letter to AGL.

Unlike the first round – when Cannon-Brookes teamed up with Canadian asset manager Brookfield – the renewed pitch went public via the media before AGL had received any share move. “The AGL board is committed to delivering the proposed demerger, which will ensure the value created through Australia’s energy transition stays with our shareholders,” an AGL spokesperson said, adding the split “is on track to be completed by the end of next month”.
