This extension sets a new deadline for the bids other conditions: 13 June. If the bid is declared unconditional, shareholders will be paid 14 days later.<\/p>\n<p>The operation, which is supported and recommended unanimously by the Board of Directors of Amey, is conditional upon obtaining offer acceptance of at least 90% of the share capital.<\/p>\n<p>Ferrovial is offering Amey shareholders 32 pence per share (0.47 euros per share), which is a 19% premium over the share price on the day the offer was announced and a 37% premium over the average market price in the previous three months.
