Take it or leave it: Wilmar sweetens offer for Goodman Fielder to A$1.37b

But that's the last spike in offer.

Vowed to win the approval of Goodman Fielder, Wilmar International Limited (WIL), together with 50-50 JV partner First Pacific CompanyLimited (FPCL), has improved its offer to acquire the entire issued share capital of the firm; this up to A$0.70/share after having its initial offer of A$0.65 rejected by Goodman’s board as being too low and “materially undervalues” the company.

Here's more:

However, the board of Goodman has just announced that it will “unanimously” recommend shareholders to vote in favour of the improved offer, which will cost the WIL-FPCL JV some A$1.37b (as opposed to A$1.3b previously).

Separately, with the new offer being some 33% over Goodman’s A$0.525 closing price on 23 Apr, the JV also said it would not be increasing the offer further in the absence of a competing proposal. In view of the latest development, Goodman will provide the JV with non-exclusive access to due diligence of the company over a short and focused period of approximately four weeks.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
