Measat rises to 6-year high on buyout bid

Measat Global Bhd, Malaysia's sole satellite operator, rose to its highest level in more than six years after billionaire T. Ananda Krishnan bid RM662 million (US$207 million) for full control of the company.

The stock climbed 7.1 per cent to RM4.07 at 9:03 a.m. in Kuala Lumpur, set for its highest close since Dec. 10, 2003. Krishnan, Malaysia's second-richest man, offered RM4.20 a share for the 40.4 per cent of Measat he doesn't already own, according to a statement yesterday. -- Bloomberg
