DJ Morrisons出價在堡壘出價後進入加時賽-市場談話
1231 GMT - Bids for Wm. Morrison Supermarkets could have further to go after U.K. regulators gave a U.S. private-equity firm more time to make a fresh approach to the U.K. grocer, analysts say. The U.K. Takeover Panel extended the deadline for Clayton Dubilier & Rice LLC to bid for Morrisons, amid the latest GBP6.7 billion offer by SoftBank Group Corp.'s Fortress Investment Group, to Aug. 20 from Aug. 9. Morrisons rejected a GBP5.54 billion possible offer from CD&R in June. Fortress offered GBP6.3 billion for Morrisons last month and increased it Friday. "U.S. private-equity firm [CD&R] planted the seeds for a bidding war on supermarket Morrisons with a request for extra time to make an offer," AJ Bell analyst Danni Hewson says.

1231GMT-競標Wm。分析人士説，在英國監管機構給予一家美國私募股權公司更多時間與這家英國雜貨商進行新的接洽後，Morrison超市可能會走得更遠。英國收購委員會(UK Takeover Panel)將Clayton Dubilier&Rice LLC競購Morrisons的截止日期從8月9日延長至8月20日，軟銀集團(SoftBank Group Corp.)旗下堡壘投資集團(Forresse Investment Group)提出的最新報價為67億英鎊。莫里森在6月份拒絕了CD&R可能提出的55.4億英鎊的收購要約。堡壘上個月提出了63億英鎊的收購要約，並在週五提高了報價。[CD&R]AJ Bell分析師丹尼·休森(Danni Hewson)表示：“這為與莫里森超市(Morrisons)的競購戰埋下了種子，要求給予更多時間提出報價。”(Philip.waller@wsj.com)
