Dealcast Abertis Premier Foods 16 November

Dealcast is a fortnightly podcast from the Dealreporter and Activistmonitor teams covering M&A, ECM and activism. The bidding war for Abertis is examined in this week’s podcast, with the merits of rival offers from Hochtief and Atlantia considered. Whilst the Spanish regulator reviews Hochtief’s bid could Atlantia return with a higher offer? The future of Oxo and Mr Kipling maker Premier Foods is also assessed. With two activist investors, attention has shifted to operational performance following a failed takeover approach. With Julie-Anna Needham, Alessandra Castelli and William Cain.
