New Coca-Cola Amatil shareholders say they arenât taking seriously a comment by Coca-Cola European Partners that its $9 billion offer is âfull, fair and finalâ.
Unveiling the $9 billion offer in October, Coke Europeâs chief financial officer Nik Jhangiani told CCEP investors the $12.75 cash offer for shares not held by The Coca-Cola Co ârepresents a very full, fair and final price for the public shareholders of Amatilâ.
Under Australian truth in takeovers regulations, CCEP would not be allowed to raise its offer price after declaring the offer final.
After originally saying its offer for Amatil was âfull and finalâ, Coke Europe was forced to reserve the right to raise the price. Â
