The offer from Fortress, which is backed by Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and Koch Real Estate Investments, exceeds a 5.52 billion pound proposal from Clayton, Dubilier & Rice (CD&R), which Morrisons rejected on June 19, saying it was far too low.     “The Morrisons directors believe that the offer represents a fair and recommendable price for shareholders which recognises Morrisons’ future prospects,\" said Chairman Andrew Higginson.   \"We have looked very carefully at Fortress’ approach, their plans for the business and their overall suitability as an owner of a unique British food-maker and shopkeeper with over 110,000 colleagues and an important role in British food production and farming,\" he said.

Shares in Morrisons closed on Friday at 243 pence, valuing the business at 5.8 billion pounds.   FIVE PROPOSALS   CD&R had no immediate comment.   Under British takeover rules CD&R has until July 17 to come back with a firm offer.   Morrisons has a partnership agreement with Amazon    and there has been speculation it could emerge as a possible bidder too.           Morrisons said an initial unsolicited proposal was received from Fortress on May 4 at 220 pence a share. This offer was not made public. Fortress then made four subsequent proposals before its offer reached a total value of 254 a share on June 5.   The Fortress deal underlines the growing appetite for UK supermarket groups, seen as attractive because of their cash generation and freehold assets.   In February, Zuber and Mohsin Issa and private equity firm TDR Capital purchased a majority stake in Asda from Walmart  in a deal valuing the UK grocer at 6.8 billion pounds.   That transaction followed Sainsbury's failure to take over Asda after an agreed deal was blocked by Britain's competition regulator in 2019.   In April, Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky raised his stake in Sainsbury's to almost 10%, igniting bid speculation.
