Count has informed the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) that it has lifted its stake from the original 5 per cent purchased more than two weeks ago to 7.1 per cent.
The purchase of the further shareholding came after DKN reported a solid result for the six months to the end of December, increasing its profit by 25 per cent over the previous corresponding period.
