But gaining control of Pacific Smiles could be like pulling teeth. Genesis looms large on the register, snapping up 18.75 per cent of the company alongside its bid. It upped its stake to 19.9 per cent on Wednesday. Founder Alex Abrahams controls 12.58 per cent, co-founder Alison Hughes another 9.9 per cent and MA Financial holds 11.13 per cent. Health insurer HBF Health holds just over 10 per cent, which it picked up when shares were trading above $2.50 a piece. |
