Brewer Lion Nathan holds ground on CC Amatil bid
MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Lion Nathan Ltd (LNN.AX), Australia's second-largest brewer, said on Tuesday it had no new moves planned on its A$7.6 billion ($4.9 billion) proposal to take over soft drinks group Coca-Cola Amatil Ltd (CCL.AX).
Coca-Cola Amatil (CCL.AX) rebuffed the offer on Monday.
"We think we've put a very compelling offer forward that needs serious consideration," Chief Executive Rob Murray told reporters at a results briefing.
"There's no immediate next steps as far as we're concerned."
