The offer consists of $230 million in cash and APN Outdoor scrip of $310 million which would be distributed to HT&E shareholders.
Expected pre-tax cost synergies are of not less than $15 million per annum, phased in over 18 months.
It comes after the announcement of the non-binding proposal received from JC Deceaux to acquire APN Outdoor yesterday for $1.1 billion.
