Deutsche Wohnen SE is recommending its shareholders accept a
renewed and final takeover bid by peer Vonovia SE, the German
real-estate company said Tuesday.
Vonovia last week upped its bid for Deutsche Wohnen to 53 euros
($62.53) a share, after a previous EUR52 offer failed to secure the
minimum 50% approval from the latter's shareholders. Vonovia, which
already holds a rough 30% stake in its takeover target, said at the
time that it wouldn't increase the bid any further.
The new offer is "fair and adequate," Deutsche Wohnen said,
adding that a tie-up between the two companies offers strategic
benefits and added value for all stakeholders.
The acceptance period for the new offer should end on Sept. 20,
Deutsche Wohnen said.
