Reuters - UK Focus

FRANKFURT, July 29 (Reuters) - Deutsche Boerse (LSE: 0H3T.L - news) reported on Friday an acceptance rate of 63.65 percent for its offer to merge with the London Stock Exchange (Other OTC: LDNXF - news) after the offer ran out on Tuesday.

Deutsche Boerse had already said on Tuesday that backing from its shareholders for the $27 billion merger had reached the minimum level of 60 percent.

The company said on Friday that shareholders who had not yet tendered their stock could do so during an extended acceptance period through Aug. 12. (Reporting by Maria Sheahan; Editing by Edward Taylor)
