Investors who hold about 14 per cent of iiNet’s shares believe that the $A1.4bn takeover offer from TPG Telecom undervalues the group. The dissenters include iiNet founder Michael Malone, who holds about 2.5 per cent of the telco’s shares. He has criticised iiNet chairman Michael Smith for failing to consult with shareholders until 10 days after the bid was made, and says the majority of iiNet’s board should be ousted in favour technology entrepreneurs
