BAA stands ground on Ferrovial bid

10-Apr-2006

The UK airports group has advised its shareholders to reject the Spanish firm's hostile bid for the business

BAA has advised its shareholders to take no action following the Grupo Ferrovial consortium's hostile bid for the business, which it valued at 810 pence per share. The UK airports group stressed that it had "already emphatically rejected" the same offer, considering that it did not reflect the true value of the company.

In a statement BAA chairman Marcus Agius said: "We have already made our position on this offer crystal clear."
