Hipgnosis fails to receive 'superior offer' to Blackstone
Sharecast - Hipgnosis (LON:SONG) said potential buyers fell short of the $440.0m offer from Blackstone (NYSE:BX), with the group receiving no binding offers from the eight parties that had signed non-disclosure agreements.
"The board received feedback through the process that a number of the parties assessed that they could not justify paying a higher price than the offer from the buyer for the first disposal," said Hipgnosis.
The London-listed group continued to recommend that shareholders vote in favour of a continuation resolution at its upcoming annual general meeting and in favour of the first disposal resolution at an extraordinary general meeting.
As of 0845 BST, Hipgnosis shares were down 3.18% at 73.0p.
