UK-listed land and property regeneration company Harworth Group has rejected a takeover proposal from its largest shareholder, Peel Holdings, saying the offer significantly undervalues the business. The cash proposal values Harworth at about £582.9 million (USD 787.15 million) and offers 172.5 pence per share for the stake Peel Holdings does not already own. Peel Group, controlled by British businessman John Whittaker, holds nearly 30% of Harworth. Harworth’s board said the proposal sought to exploit the difference between the company’s share price and the value of its assets. Harworth shares rose 1.1% to 180 pence during Friday trading, taking their gain since the offer was disclosed to 25%. The company said it remained focused on higher-return land and industrial projects and had approved plans in principle to reduce costs over the medium term.Read more
