BHP Group's options for its pursuit of rival miner Anglo American include sweetening its $42.7 billion buyout offer, making a hostile bid or walking away for now as it approaches a May 22 deadline to lodge a binding offer. As BHP weighs its next move, CEO Mike Henry and his team have been making the case for the mega-deal on the sidelines of an investor conference in Miami and elsewhere to its investors, a large proportion of whom also hold shares in Anglo. "At this stage I think it is up to BHP to try to convince enough of Anglo's institutional shareholders over the coming week that it's worthwhile pressuring their board to engage with BHP, with a potentially even higher offer on the table should this occur," Morningstar analyst Jon Mills said.
JOHANNESBURG/ LONDON (Reuters) -BHP Chief Executive Mike Henry said that Anglo American investors need to consider the merits of his company's bid for its smaller London-listed rival, seeking to drum up support for a proposal that has been rejected twice. Anglo CEO Duncan Wanblad on Tuesday outlined plans to refocus on energy transition metal copper while spinning off or selling its less profitable coal, nickel, diamond and platinum businesses. Henry, meanwhile, emphasised the merits of BHP's $43 billion bid and dismissed concerns that the proposed deal would be complex to execute.
