LONDON - London Stock Exchange has rejected Hong Kong Exchange's US$39 billion takeover offer, opting to stick with its planned purchase of data and analytics group Refinitiv."Accordingly, the board unanimously rejects the conditional proposal and, given its fundamental flaws, sees no merit in further engagement," the LSE said in a statement.
LSE shares were trading up 1.3 per cent at 7,352 pence after the statement, little changed from earlier levels. HKEX made its offer on Wednesday and it has been coolly received by shareholders so far, though analysts expect the Asian exchange to return with an improved proposal.
