Tungsten Corp. said Tuesday that the deadline for Kofax Inc. to either make an offer for Tungsten or walk away has been extended by a further two days, to Thursday.

The digital financial-management company said it is in advanced stages of reaching a deal with Kofax on the key terms of the 53.1 million-pound ($69.9 million) bid, and that the board is minded to recommend such an offer to shareholders.

So far, Kofax has received irrevocable undertakings representing 18.2% of Tungsten voting rights.

Under the latest proposal, Kofax is offering 42 pence for each Tungsten share, up from a previous proposal made in December of 40 pence.
