DCC, the London-listed energy company, says it is “minded” to agree a takeover deal with a consortium after receiving a higher approach valued at £5.7bn, according to reports. The company’s statement indicates that it is leaning toward accepting the offer, joining a growing number of FTSE-listed firms that have attracted takeover interest in recent months. The reports describe the revised bid as larger than a previous proposal, suggesting negotiations have progressed following the increased valuation. Details of the consortium’s final terms, including the structure of the offer and the timing of any decision, are not provided in the available text. The coverage overall frames the development as a step in the process toward a potential acquisition, with DCC signaling openness to the proposal while still indicating it has not yet reached a final agreement. The reports align in describing the same “minded” position and the same higher £5.7bn figure.
