Alliance News) - Liontrust Asset Management PLC on Thursday said it expects to declare its offer to buy GAM Holding AG unsuccessful, after winning the support of only a third of the Zurich-based firm's shareholders.
The minimum acceptance condition for the bid was just over 66%, according to an earlier offer document, so the FTSE 250 listing fell well short of the support needed.
Liontrust currently expects to declare the offer unsuccessful on Tuesday next week. GAM shareholders had until Wednesday of this week to tender shares.
