ReutersAnglo leaves door open to engage with BHP after spurning third offer
LONDON (Reuters) -Anglo American has agreed to a one-week extension for BHP Group to make a binding takeover offer, it said on Wednesday, after rejecting a third proposal from its rival that valued it at 38.6 billion pounds ($49.18 billion). BHP, the world's biggest listed mining group, has now made three unsuccessful offers in a month for Anglo, which has itself outlined a plan to divest its less profitable coal, nickel, diamond and platinum businesses. The structure of any deal and the fate of Anglo's businesses in South Africa remain big obstacles, with Anglo chairman Stuart Chambers highlighting concerns about completion and execution risks in BHP's proposal.
