The soap opera surrounding the acquisition of the US Starwood Hotels and Resports takes on. Although Marriot Hotels proclaimed himself the winner last week of the fight, does a Chinese venture capitalist today again one step further.
Investor Anbang is now willing to pay about $ 14 billion, Starwood writes the website. That could still lay over Marriot hotels last week 0.4 billion dollars.
The parties are currently negotiating on a final proposal. Nothing is fixed yet, the chain says. “It looks carefully at what is best for the company and its shareholders,” according to the statement. Starwood include owns the hotel W in Amsterdam and the Sheraton at Schiphol.
About the American chain also assumes that there is in any case set a record. Marriot would be the largest hotel chain in the world. If the acquisition by Starwood Anbang continues, would be the largest acquisition of a US company by a Chinese investor ever.
Understanding merger
Originally Marriott commanded in November of last year’s $ 12.2 billion and had already agreed on a merger.
Anbang has recently already reached agreement on the acquisition of Strategic Hotels & amp; Resorts, owner of the renowned Waldorf Astoria in New York for $ 6.5 billion. Marriott is the parent company of well-known chains such as Ritz-Carlton and Renaissance.
