Dow Jones News
Australian coal producer Coal & Allied Industries Ltd.
(CNA.AU) said Tuesday it has formed a committee of directors to
review a proposed bid from majority owner Rio Tinto PLC (RIO) and
partner Mitsubishi Corp. (8058.TO), but has no recommendation for
its shareholders at this stage.
Rio earlier this month said it and Mitsubishi had made a
non-binding bid at A$122 a share for all outstanding shares in Coal
& Allied, which if successful would lift the companies' stakes
to 80% and 20% respectively from 75.7% and 10.2% currently.
"We will be carefully considering the indicative proposal and at
this stage have not formed any views, including whether a
shareholder meeting will be convened, or more generally," Coal
& Allied said in a statement.
