Italian eyewear group Safilo said Inspecs turned down two nonbinding cash offer it made for its U.K. peer's entire issued share capital, but that it remains interested in acquiring the company.

Safilo said Friday that it continues to assess its options, including the possibility of submitting a revised offer.

In late October, London-listed Inspecs said it received two separate, unsolicited proposals from H2 Equity Partners and a consortium including Risk Capital Partners and entrepreneur Ian Livingstone.

Safilo has until 1700 GMT on Dec. 18 to either announce a firm intention to make an offer or pull out altogether.

The company didn't disclose any pricing information. Inspecs shares closed Thursday at 77 pence, implying a market capitalization of 74.1 million pounds ($96.9 million). Shares are up 60% over the year to date.
