Oz Minerals Rejects BHP’s Opportunistic Foray – Expect More

By Travis Lundy

  • Early 8 August, OZ Minerals Ltd (OZL AU) announced it had rejected BHP Group Ltd (BHP AU)‘s  indicative acquisition proposal at A$25.00/share, after BHP had bought less than 5%.
  • The Board took a quick look over the weekend and decided “the Indicative Proposal significantly undervalues OZ Minerals” and rejected it out of hand. 
  • It has been an obvious deal for years. This may not be BHP’s last go, but they will probably need to pay more like A$30/share to get it.
