Source: Forbes.com A bid by Australia's Macquarie Bank Ltd. to acquire energy-metering company Techem AG has failed because a fund it operates failed to acquire enough shares, the bank said Friday. Macquarie said its European Infrastructure Fund II only gained approval for 43.05 percent of the company's capital despite its offer of euro55 ($71.61) a share. Because of that, the fund failed to reach the threshold of 70.5 percent of the voting rights needed to control the company outright. Techem CEO Horst Enzelmueller, in a statement, said he regretted that the deal failed.Posted by pichu at February 2, 2007 8:14 PM |
