2024.09.10 20:01

(Reuters) – News Corp-backed property listing company REA Group said on Wednesday that Britain’s largest property portal Rightmove (OTC:) rejected its 5.6 billion pounds ($7.32 billion) buyout proposal.

Rupert Murchoch-owned REA did not cite any reason as to why its takeover offer was rejected by Rightmove.

Under the part cash, part scrip deal proposal, REA offered to pay a total of 705 pence for each Rightmove share, representing a premium of 27% to the U.K. company’s closing price of 556 pence on Aug. 30, after which REA confirmed discussions.

The proposal was non-binding and subject to customary conditions, including completion of due diligence to the satisfaction of REA.

REA further said it will look to apply for a secondary listing in London, which will give the company access to a wider pool of investors.
