The £39.8m acquisition of pension services and SIPP provider STM by Guernsey-based investment vehicle Pension SuperFund Capital has been extended for another month after the firms said it was taking longer than expected to receive regulatory approvals.

Pension services and SIPP provider STM has been acquired by Guernsey-based investment vehicle Pension SuperFund Capital in a £39.8m deal that was extended several times since first being announced in July.

Pension SuperFund Capital has reported an “inadvertent breach” of one of the rules of City Code on Takeovers and Mergers in its announcement on 8 September about its offer for SIPP provider STM Group.

Investment vehicle Pension SuperFund Capital has lowered its offer for SIPP provider STM Group from 70p per share to 67p per share.
