Mar 12, 2007 (The Australian Financial Review - ABIX via COMTEX) -- Australian coal testing firm, CCI Holdings, has agreed to a superior takeover offer. In late 2006, it rejected an offer of $A0.35 a share from Campbell Brothers, which only gained a stake of 21.3 per cent. On 12 March 2007, CCI's board recommended acceptance of a $A79 million bid from French group, Bureau Veritas. The offer of $A0.58 a share represents a 48 per cent premium to CCI's average price. One of the company's main attractions for Bureau Veritas was the technology of its equipment reliability management business.
