The Takeovers Panel today advises that it has deferred making a decision in relation to the application it received from CPT Manager Limited (as responsible entity for Centro Property Trust) (Centro) on Thursday 10 April 2003. The application is for a declaration under section 657A of the Corporations Act (Act) of unacceptable circumstances and orders in relation to the affairs of AMP Shopping Centre Trust (ART). Centro is currently offering to acquire all of the units in ART in a takeover bid it announced on 18 March 2003.
