ReutersAnglo shareholder LGIM supports break-up plan as BHP circles
Anglo American shareholder Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM) supports the break-up plan announced by the company last week, it said on Monday, as the deadline approaches for BHP Group to log a formal takeover offer. The radical plan to divest Anglo's less profitable coal, nickel, diamond and platinum businesses followed its rejection of two all-share takeover approaches from BHP, the world's biggest listed mining group, which had proposed a $43 billion deal on the condition that Anglo first spins off its South African operations. "The plan outlined by Anglo American is a radical but attractive strategy to create value for long-term investors," said Nick Stansbury, head of climate solutions at LGIM.
