What is the new valuation and key components of the KKR-led consortium's revised offer for DCC?

The KKR-led consortium's revised offer values DCC at £67.97 per share, or £5.81 billion ($7.86 billion), comprising a cash consideration of £65.25 per share, a proposed final dividend of £1.47 per share (included in the earlier offer), and a potential additional payment of up to £1.25 per share linked to proceeds from the sale of DCC's Nexora technology unit.

How has DCC responded to the latest bid, and what is the current status of the takeover process?

DCC has not indicated whether it is prepared to back the sweetened bid; it only confirmed that the Irish Takeover Panel extended the deadline for the consortium to make a firm offer—or walk away—to July 27, and that the consortium has completed due diligence and substantially agreed on deal documentation, though the precise terms of the Nexora sale proceeds adjustment remain unresolved.
