TI Fluid Systems said the deadline for ABC Technologies' $1.25 billion takeover approach was extended for a second time.
The U.K. car-fluid storage manufacturer on Friday said that ABC Technologies now has until Nov. 29 to either announce a firm intention to make an offer or walk away.
ABC Technologies--a company majority-owned by investment funds managed by Apollo Management IX--requested the extension of the deadline in order to complete financing and other arrangements, TI Fluid Systems said.
In a letter to the company's board, ABC has said that it substantially concluded its due diligence and confirmed its possible offer price of 200 pence a share, TI Fluid Systems said.
The nonbinding proposal made in October values TI Fluid Systems at 994 million pounds, and followed several rejected bids that started with an initial 165 pence a share.
