Vitol's Intention to Acquire Hillsborough

IBT Commodities reported yesterday that shares of coal miner Hillsborough Resources increased more than 41 per cent to 44.5 cents on Monday, after Vitol Anker International B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Vitol Group, announced its intention to make an offer to acquire all of the common shares of the company that it does not currently own for 45 cents per share.

"Our offer presents compelling value to Hillsborough’s shareholders and creates an immediate opportunity for shareholders to receive cash proceeds for their investment. Our offer price reflects our respect and enthusiasm for Hillsborough’s business,” said Jacobus Sterken, Vitol Anker’s Director.
