    GOODPACK shareholders should take the money that private equity firm KKR is putting on the table, several research houses said yesterday.

    One of them, CIMB Research, called the offer of $2.50 a share for the pac-kaging logistics company "fair", while a DBS Group Research report deemed it a "decent offer price".

    "While the offer price represents only 7 per cent premium to the prior closing price, we believe that investors have already largely priced in a takeover scenario," the CIMB Research report said.
