'Santos to push for higher offer
The Santos board is set to push private US firm Harbour Energy to sweeten its $13.7 billion takeover bid, after a binding offer was made at an unchanged price despite a 15 per cent jump in oil since an original approach seven weeks ago. Harbour, run by former Shell executive Linda Cook and managed by EIG Global Energy Partners, yesterday made what Santos said was a binding, conditional offer at $US4.98 a share, which translates to $6.64 at yesterday’s exchange rate. The bid price was less than many shareholders were hoping for and sent Santos shares down 12c, or 1.9 per cent, to $6.20 yesterday because of concerns it would not result in a deal.
