Dan Juran, managing member of Framtiden which owns almost 1% of shares in Swedish Match, said he will still not tender his shares before Friday’s deadline and hopes the $16 billion offer will fail.
Framtiden has been vocal in their opinion that Swedish Match is better off as an independent company, stating they estimate the Swedish tobacco and nicotine products maker to be worth close to 200 Swedish crowns per share, far higher than the current 116 crowns on the table.
