BW LPG calls on Dorian to listen to shareholders after rejected bid

BW LPG encourages Dorian to listen to its shareholders after the latter's board of directors Friday rejected an acquisition. BW tells ShippingWatch that it has received "positive feedback" from a significant portion of Dorian's shareholders.
BW LPG calls on competitor Dorian to listen to its shareholders after the company rejected BW's takeover bid.
Dorian LPG's rejection of the bid was announced Friday, when the US-based gas tanker shipping company informed that its board of directors has unanimously rejected BW LPG's proposed merger, which would create the world's largest shipping company in the liquefied petroleum gas sector.
The Dorian board of directors notes, among other things, that the offer prices the company's fleet eco-design vessels too low. And Dorian also does not feel that it is in its shareholders' best interest to be paid in shares in a company that has a higher debt than Dorian.
Still, BW LPG maintains its offer and says that there is interest for the merger among parts of Dorian's shareholders.
"We still believe that the proposed merger of BW LPG and Dorian represents a unique opportunity to maximize value for all interested parties. Since we announced the proposal, we've spoken to many of BW LPG's shareholders and a significant percentage of Dorian's shareholder, and we're pleased with the positive feedback we've received," writes BW LPG in a written response to ShippingWatch.
"For the two and a half weeks that have passed since we submitted the proposal, Dorian has still not spoken to us about this good opportunity. We encourage Dorian to listen to its shareholders and enter a dialog with is to reach an agreement that benefits both parties and maximizes value," writes the shipping company.
BW LPG's offer was announced in late May and has a total value of USD 1.1 billion. According to the proposal, payment will be made in shares in the new company. The proposal also included plans to seek a dual listing in Oslo as well as New York benefit Dorian's US shareholders.
