The recruitment company said that the extension was requested following the revision of the all-cash offer, which now requires completion of certain customary pre-conditions. The initial deadline was set to expire on Wednesday, according to a same-day release. SThree added that Circle8 has now until Oct. 21 to declare a firm intention to make an offer or walk away.
