UK’s Crest Nicholson says Bellway’s revised proposal undervalues group

(Reuters) – British homebuilder Crest Nicholson said on Friday it rejected a 650 million pound ($828.04 million) revised unsolicited proposal from rival Bellway, saying that the deal “significantly undervalued” the group.

Bellway on Thursday made public the revised all-share bid it proposed on May 7 to buy Crest Nicholson, after the initial proposal too was rejected.
