Market Chatter: BlueScope Steel Faces Investor Calls to Sell North American Business

MT Newswires Live

01/16

BlueScope Steel's (ASX:BSL) major shareholders are urging the board to explore buyer interest in its North American business, Australian Financial Review reported Friday, citing four unnamed sources with knowledge about the matter.

Investors supported rejecting a AU$30 per share takeover bid from SGH (ASX:SGH) and Nasdaq-listed Steel Dynamics during discussions with Chairwoman Jane McAloon and the management team, according to the sources.

However, they urged the board to take action to enhance investor value, noting the potential of the company's US business, saying that buyers are willing to pay high prices, but this is not reflected in the current share price.

While the company was open to exploring various options, it said it was not yet prepared to initiate a formal strategic review, the sources said.

BlueScope Steel did not immediately respond to a request for comment from MT Newswires.

Its shares fell nearly 1% in afternoon trade on Friday.
