FRANKFURT - Metro said that an unsolicited offer by two prominent investors to take over the German retailer substantially undervalues it and advised shareholders on Sunday to hold off on taking action until management comments further.
The retailer, noting that the offer price was only 3% above the closing share price on Friday, said the bid “substantially undervalues the company and does not reflect its value creation plan”. The firm, co-owned by Czech investor Daniel Kretinsky and Slovak partner Patrik Tkac, said the offer was “a compelling value and a unique opportunity” for shareholders given the difficult market and challenges facing Metro.
