Abacus Storage King's Bid Rejection Looks Reasonable -- Market Talk

2310 GMT - Abacus Storage King's decision to knock back a A$1.47/share all-cash takeover proposal from $Public Storage(PSA-N)$ and family-controlled Ki Corp is reasonable, says Barrenjoey. That view reflects Abacus Storage King's latest valuation of its property portfolio and the consortium's demand for certain tax rulings. Analyst Ben Brayshaw thinks Abacus Storage King could push for a higher bid. "But National Storage REIT's presence on the register with 12.8% voting rights raises the question as to whether Ki Corp and Public Storage would have the risk appetite for a unitholder vote knowing that a proposed resolution could be defeated," says Barrenjoey. It has a A$1.52/share price target on Abacus Storage King, which ended Tuesday at A$1.525. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
