Marine Harvest submitted a voluntary offer for the outstanding shares in Cermaq this Friday, edging up to NOK 107 (€14.1/$18.4) per share, a NOK 3 (€0.39/$0.51) increase from its previous offer.
The company said it had been in negotiations with Cermaq to reach an amicable agreement, and it was prepared to increase the value of the original voluntary offer by more than NOK 8 (€1/$1.4) per share.
