BASF Considering Increasing Bid for Evonik Closer to €11 Billion
BASF is reportedly considering increasing its bid for specialty chemicals company Evonik, potentially moving closer to a total of €11 billion. This comes after Evonik rejected the initial offer from BASF earlier this year. The RAG Foundation, which holds significant shares in Evonik, may play an influential role in shaping the outcome of these discussions. The potential increase in the bid reflects ongoing internal deliberations at BASF regarding a stronger financial commitment to acquire its rival firm. If realized, such a move could signal increased confidence from BASF and potentially shift market dynamics within the chemicals sector by consolidating key players under one umbrella.
