The operator's board gives its blessing for shareholders to accept the Italian group's offer

The board of Spanish travel retailer Aldeasa has unanimously voted to accept the improved €36.57 ($48.76) per-share offer from Autogrill subsidiary Retail Airport Finance (RAF).

Following a report from adviser Morgan Stanley, the board told shareholders that it believes the revised offer is financially "fair" and recommended its acceptance. The bid is open for acceptance by shareholders until April 14.

The RAF/Autogrill bid was cleared by European Union competition authorities on March 24.
