Klépierre retests Hammerson’s resistance ahead of Monday’s final deadline

Klépierre’s revised offer, again a mix of 50% cash and 50% shares, was conveyed in a meeting between David Tyler, chairman of Hammerson, and Jean-Marc Jestin, chairman of the executive board of Klépierre, on Monday.  The offer is a 3% improvement on the original offer last month.
