British property website Rightmove on Wednesday declined a sweetened $8.1 billion requisition proposition from Australian residential property listing company REA Group, stating the proposal underestimated the business.
“The board considered the increased proposal… and concluded that the increased proposal continues to be unattractive and materially undervalues the company and its future prospects,” Rightmove claimed in a declaration.
The latest proposition from REA Group, which is 62% had by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp, contains 341 cent in money and 0.0422 brand-new REA shares, providing Rightmove a suggested worth of 770 cent per share.
The most current proposal followed a first deal of 705 cent per share, or 5.6 billion extra pounds, and the 2nd among 749 cent per share, were declined by Rightmove.
