LONDON — Soft drinks maker Britvic has agreed to a sweetened takeover bid of £3.28 billion ($4.2 billion) from Carlsberg, the companies said Monday.
The deal agreed offered 1,290 pence per share for Britvic.
Britvic in June refused an improved cash takeover bid from Carlsberg offering 1,250 pence per share of the British soft drinks maker. It said at the time that the proposal “significantly undervalues Britvic, and its current and future prospects.”
Carlsberg’s previous June 6 offer price of 1,200 pence per Britvic share was also declined.
