Stagecoach Group PLC - Perth, Scotland-based transport provider - Bidder lowers the acceptance condition for its agreed takeover offer to 50% from 75%. Pan-European Infrastructure III SCSp, an infrastructure fund managed by DWS Infrastructure, gives no reason for the decision. It says it has acceptances for its offer representing 27.5% of Stagecoach shares, essentially unchanged from recent announcements.
Back in March, the Stagecoach board accepted DWS's £594.9 million cash offer, switching its support from an all-share merger with UK peer National Express Group PLC. The DWS offer of 105 pence per Stagecoach share remains open until May 21. It has a 75% acceptance condition, though this could be lowered.
Current stock price: 105.30 pence
12-month change: up 22%
