Madrid-based construction company Actividades de Construccion y
Servicios SA (ACS.MC) will launch a cash-and-share offer next week
for Spanish toll-road operator Abertis Infraestructuras SA
(ABE.MC), rivaling a previous bid from Italy's Atlantia SpA
(ATL.MI), according to a report by Reuters that cites sources.
The offer will be half in cash and half in newly issued shares
in ACS's German subsidiary Hochtief AG (HOT.XE), according to the
sources cited by the agency. The article doesn't mention a
potential deal value.
According to the article, people close to the matter said that
Hochtief's supervisory board would meet to discuss the issue next
Wednesday.
ACS wasn't immediately available for comment and Hochtief
declined to comment on the story.
Atlantia received regulatory approval on Monday for its 16.3
billion euros ($19.3 billion) bid. Any further potential suitors
now have until Oct. 24 to submit their bids.
