In a major turn of events, BHP has announced that Anglo American has rejected its revised buyout offer worth $42.67 billion. This comes after Anglo American had previously dismissed BHP's all-share takeover proposal in April. The second offer from BHP was made on May 7, 2024, but was turned down by the Anglo American Board on May 13, 2024. Despite the rejection, BHP maintains its belief that a combination of both companies would deliver significant value to their respective shareholders. The news has sparked discussions about Anglo American's plans for survival and acceleration of its turnaround plan as pressure from shareholders mounts for a more compelling vision. Anglo American is expected to address this on Tuesday.
