The 68.15% stake in Daewoo International held by Korea Asset Management could draw bids from potential buyers between KRW 3tn-4tn, according to several media reports.
According to a report carried by Seoul Economic Daily, industry sources estimated the two South Korean companies Lotte and Posco - which have sufficient cash for the potential acquisition - may bid with bidding prices of KRW 3tn (USD 2.69bn).
Whereas the Maeil Business estimated the bidding price to be higher, estimating a range of KRW 3.6tn to KRW 4tn (USD 3.22bn – 3.58bn).
The report claimed that both companies have decided to bid for the entire 68.15% stake of the seller.
As reported earlier, state-run Korea Asset Management has been seeking to privatize a 50% plus one share stake in Daewoo International.
Proposals are expected to be submitted on 7 May.
