Lonergan Edwards & Associates claims Foster's Group's sweetened offer for Southcorp is reasonable, but still not fair. In April 2005, Foster's raised its bid from $A4.14 a share to $A4.50 a share. In addition, Foster's has waived all conditions, except for a 50 per cent minimum acceptance level. Although Lonergan stands by its initial March valuation, in May 2005 the group has reduced its valuation range for Southcorp to between $A4.30 and $A4.50, citing recent falls on the Australian and global sharemarkets.
