Pakistan: Dewan Cement has rejected a takeover bid by Mega Conglomerate to buy a 87.5% stake in it. Chairman Dewan Mohammad Yousuf Farooqui turned down the offer following a valuation of the company, according to the Pakistan Today newspaper. The valuation reported that the value of the cement producer was below the initial offer made by Mega Conglomerate due to low capacity utilisation rates at Dewan’s plants and the need for investment at the sites. Dewan Cement has claimed that negotiations are still on going.
