Intertek Up 5% on EQT £9.4bn Bid

EQT AB submitted a final £9.4 billion takeover proposal for Intertek, offering £60 cash per share plus a £1.1 dividend.
Intertek’s shares jumped over 5% in London trading as the company said it is reviewing the offer.
The cash component reflects a 59% premium to Intertek’s pre‑interest price, yet remains below its pandemic‑era highs.
Under UK takeover rules EQT must formalise the bid by Thursday or wait six months before another attempt.
