Hsinchu / Munich (dpa) - The Taiwanese chip supplier Globalwafers is apparently worried about the success of the intended takeover of the German wafer manufacturer Siltronic.
First, the group had increased the price offered twice in the past few days to 145 euros per share.
According to a statement on Monday, he lowered the minimum acceptance threshold from 65 to 50 percent and extended the acceptance period by two weeks to February 10.
With the reduced acceptance threshold, an additional 13.05 percent of all outstanding shares are required to achieve them, it said.
The Taiwanese are currently ruling out a further increase in the bid.
The 145 euros represented a final bid, it was said.
The Siltronic management is behind the purchase plans.
Many investors, however, are skeptical and apparently see more potential in view of the recently very dynamic market for computer chips, for which Siltronic is creating the basis.
At the end of 2020, Siltronic's major shareholder Wacker Chemie had already contractually agreed to sell its almost 31 percent stake in Siltronic.
