Apollo ups Brit offer to £10.75 a share
US private equity firm, Apollo Management, is moving nearer to its takeover goal with Brit agreeing to access to its books and considering an increased offer of £10.75 a share.
Though not a done deal, Brit's chief executive, Dane Douetil, indicated that an agreement could now be reached " within weeks, not months."
The new bid from Apollo values the company at around £852 million. Brit shares have risen by around 25% since the original bid was made in early June.
