Anglo’s shareholders – just waiting for more?
The Times says Anglo American shareholders have rejected rival Xstrata’s merger approach.
“All of Anglo’s leading institutional investors are understood to have turned down Xstrata’s nil-premium merger of equals,” the paper says.
No great surprise perhaps given the initial market response — which saw the Anglo premium widen over its rival mining group.
What is clear from the Anglo share price is that Xstrata’s approach — whether or not ultimately successful — has jolted Anglo’s shareholders into action, increasing the pressure on Anglo’s management to up its game and reveal its hidden gems.
