Broadspectrum Limited (ASX:BRS) has advised shareholders to reject an off-market conditional takeover bid made by Ferrovial Services Australia Pty Limited. 
 
Broadspectrum Chairman, Diane Smith-Gander told shareholders their shares are worth a lot more than Ferrovial is offering.

The company highlighted its recent upgrade to guidance for FY16 underlying EBITDA to between $265 million and $285 million as a sign of continued strong performance. 
 
Broadspectrum recorded a net profit of $48.6 million at 30 June 2015.
