    ** Morphosys MORG.DE said its takeover by Novartis NOVN.S was still expected to be closed in the first half of this year, in a statement responding to a possible safety risk reported by specialist news website STAT News that knocked the company's share price.

    ** An adviser to BHP (BHP) on its $39 billion Anglo American AAL.L bid is seeking views from some of its shareholders as the miner weighs making a revised offer after its initial proposal was rejected last week, sources said.

    ** French IT firm Atos ATOS.PA put a price tag on a state offer to take over strategic parts of the company , boosting its shares, but also said it would need almost twice as much cash as estimated earlier this month to stay afloat.
