Nasdaq raises bid price for Cinnober in face of shareholder opposition

Editorial

This content has been selected, created and edited by the Finextra editorial team based upon its relevance and interest to our community.

Nasdaq's initial offer for Cinnober failed to garner support among the Swedish firm's shareholders, attracting a vote in favour from only 37% of those canvassed.

The exchange operator says that 82% of shareholders have already accepted the revised bid, including powerful hold-outs such as Swedbank which owns 9.7% of Cinnober's shares.

In upping the revised bid, Nasdaq also moved to mollify Cinnober shareholders by removing a clause which made the offer conditional on achieving all regulatory, governmental and competition authority clearances.

Nasdaq needs to garner 90% of shareholder support for the offer to pass muster by 9 January 2019.
