RAPAPORT... The board of Trans Hex Group advised shareholders to decline a takeover bid from South Africa’s richest man, after a panel of independent members found the offer underprices the miner.

Snowden Mining Industry Consultants Proprietary Ltd, which was hired by the independent members of the board, valued the company at $0.59 (ZAR 8) per share, the rough producer said in a statement to the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. This compares with $0.29 (ZAR 3.94) per share offered by Cream Magenta and Metcap, both of which are owned by retail tycoon Christo Wiese, in concert with RAC Investment Holdings.

“The independent board, having taken into account the opinion of the independent expert regarding the offer, is of the opinion that the terms of the offer are not fair and not reasonable to shareholders and, accordingly, recommends that shareholders do not accept the offer,” Trans Hex said.
