Sydney Airportâs board has told investors the COVID-19 pandemic has hurt its shares and that they should take no action on an unsolicited $22 billion takeover bid from a group of infrastructure investors as its shares soared 29 per cent.
The board told investors that the pandemic was expected to have âa short term impactâ after a consortium of infrastructure investors made an indicative takeover offer priced at $8.25 per share.
âThe indicative proposal has been made during a global pandemic which has deeply affected the aviation industry and the Sydney Airport security price,â the airport said on Monday. âThe indicative price is below where Sydney Airportâs security price traded before the pandemic. â
