UK Mining Giant Anglo American Rejects $38.8 Billion Takeover Offer by $142 Billion Australia Mining Group BHP
27th April 2024 | Hong Kong
UK mining giant Anglo American has rejected the $38.8 billion takeover offer by Australia mining group BHP (27/4/24: $142 billion market value). Anglo American (26/4/24): “Further to the announcement by Anglo American plc (“Anglo American”) on 24 April, the Board of Anglo American (the “Board”) provides an update regarding the unsolicited, non-binding and highly conditional combination proposal from BHP Group Limited (“BHP”) (the “Proposal”). The Proposal comprised an all-share offer for Anglo American by BHP, with a requirement for Anglo American to complete two separate demergers of its entire shareholdings in Anglo American Platinum Limited and Kumba Iron Ore Limited to Anglo American shareholders. The all-share offer and required demergers would be inter-conditional. The Board has considered the Proposal with its advisers and concluded that the Proposal significantly undervalues Anglo American and its future prospects. In addition, the Proposal contemplates a structure which the Board believes is highly unattractive for Anglo American’s shareholders, given the uncertainty and complexity inherent in the Proposal, and significant execution risks. The Board has therefore unanimously rejected the Proposal.”
