Namoi Cotton Ltd (AU:NAM) has announced a significant update regarding its ongoing takeover discussions. The company's independent directors have unanimously recommended that shareholders accept LDC's takeover offer of $0.77 per share. This offer surpasses a competing bid from Olam, which stands at $0.75 per share.

The recommendation is grounded in the fact that LDC's offer aligns with the upper range of independent valuations and provides immediate, unconditional cash benefits to shareholders. Currently, LDC holds a controlling interest of 60.5% in Namoi Cotton, which raises concerns that shareholders could become a minority if they do not accept the offer.

This endorsement from Namoi Cotton's directors highlights the strategic importance of the takeover for shareholders, emphasizing the financial advantages of accepting LDC's proposal.
