SYDNEY, July 3 Asia Pulse - Shipping group Adsteam Marine Ltd (ASX:ADS) has recommended shareholders accept an all-cash takeover bid from Danish company SvitzerWijsmuller.
Under the offer, which values Adsteam at $A693 million ($US510.78 million), shareholders will receive $2.54 per share.
Adsteam chairman Bruce Corlett said SvitzerWijsmuller's cash offer represented good value and was in the best interests of Adsteam shareholders.
"We recommend that Adsteam shareholders accept the offer from SvitzerWijsmuller once the regulatory conditions to the offer have been satisfied or waived and in the absence of a higher offer," he said.
"The offer will allow Adsteam to grow within a successful, global business."
SvitzerWijsmuller is an international towage and salvage company based in Copenhagen with approximately 2,500 employees and operations in 35 countries.
The company, which is a subsidiary of Danish business consortium A.P. Moller-Maersk, reported turnover of $US355 million ($A481.65 million) last year.
