STEEL prefabrication firm BRC Asia is offering to buy fellow steel player Lee Metal Group at an offer price of 42 Singapore cents for each share, or S$199.3 million in total, with the aim of delisting the company.

The offer price represents a premium of 9.1 per cent to Lee Metal's last traded price of 38.5 Singapore cents on Nov 10, 2017 - being the last full trading day prior to the announcement by the company on notification by certain shareholders of an unsolicited approach to acquire their shares.
