That set the two at the acquisition sources concerned. The writing of York, which is 3% of the shares in PostNL, comes shortly to a statement by Frank Botman of shareholder Dasym, which, among others, the money of John de Mol invests. Botman told the Financial Daily of the view that PostNL the dialogue had to go.
In total seems to be the camp with wayward PostNL shareholders who require that the dialog opens, and where also the American asset management company Carlson, would include, as much as 15% large. Even a small 10% of PostNL is in the hands of Vanguard, UBS, Norges Bank and Allianz. These big four investors have all the interests in Bpost, and can thus be a determining factor.
York has not responded to the submitted facts, PostNL does not want to do. However, late, a spokeswoman to know that 'the board of directors and the supervisory board’s careful consideration, want to make a' before the company with a response to the desire of Bpost to negotiate an acquisition.
Bpost offers €5,65 per share, in total €2.5 billion for its Dutch rival. York is about five years shareholder, and would be in the letter or email are critical about the results achieved and a standalone scenario of PostNL as a ‘sub-optimal’ to consider in comparison with the acquisition proposal.
PostNL is a Dutch employer (49000 people). Part of the reason that prime minister Rutte and minister Kamp (EZ) is not very keen on a takeover by a company that was still partly in the hands of the Belgian state is, as they showed at the beginning of this week again. That led to a frustrated response at Bpost ceo Koen Van Gerven, that this political interference Thursday in an exclusive interview in The Telegraph denounced and them telling fictions' accused. Although Van Gerven in that interview denied currently to have contact with PostNL shareholders, seems the Belgian camp behind the scenes, certainly to put pressure on the PostNL shareholders to Verhagen to the negotiating table to push.
