MELBOURNE--Australian media investment company Consolidated
Media Holdings Ltd. (CMJ.AU) said Friday that it received a binding
takeover bid from News Corp. (NWS) at A$3.45-a-share, valuing the
company at 1.94 billion Australian dollars (US$2 billion).
The bid is less than the A$3.50 non-binding cash offer News
Corp. made for the company in June.
Consolidated Media said in a statement that shareholders would
also receive a final dividend of 6 Australian cents a share, which
means they would receive the equivalent of A$3.51 for each of their
shares under News Corp.'s bid.
News Corp. is the owner of this newswire.
