Jan Cameron, the cash-up founder of the Kathmandu chain of outdoor equipment stores, lifted her stake in retailer Postie Plus Group to 17.8%, nearing the 20% threshold that would require a takeover offer.

Cameron paid an average of about 29 cents a share to lift her stake from 15.1%, according to a substantial security holder notice today. The shares last traded unchanged at 25 cents and have declined 25% this year.

In December, the clothing chain said it was "making steady progress" in turning around the previous year's losses and bolstering its margins. Still, the retail market was "fragile," chief executive Ron Boskill said.

Cameron has separately purchased the retailer's Arbuckles chain.
