The UK takeover panel canceled the Harmony Energy auction after Drax withdrew its bid, with Foresight Group's offer valued higher at £209.9 million.
(Reuters) -UK's takeover panel on Tuesday cancelled an auction to conclude the sale of Harmony Energy Income Trust, set to take place on May 21, after Drax, one of the bidders, decided against raising its offer.
The panel had decided on a bidding process following proposals last month from two funds managed by British investment manager Foresight Group LLP, valuing Harmony at around 209.9 million pounds ($278.12 million), which surpassed Drax's 199.9 million pounds bid.
