Spanish train manufacturer Talgo has received an offer to merge from Czech rival Skoda.
In a statement, Talgo said the offer from Skoda was "a business merger and industrial integration, lacking a financial offer" and it was looking for more clarity. A number of sources say that the Czech company has proposed partial integration between the two.
Talgo has asked Skoda for more details to see if the deal is more appealing to shareholders than a previous bid made by Gang-Mavag Europe Zrt.
Hungarian consortium Gang-Mavag four months ago launched a public offer of €619m in cash for all Talgo shares at €5 per share.
When that offer was made, Talgo's board of directors issued a statement saying: "The Board of Directors of Talgo has unanimously confirmed that the offer is friendly and that the consideration offered is attractive for Talgo’s shareholders."
With this latest offer, the Spanish train manufacturer wants more clarity "on Skoda's industrial and financial capabilities". According to Reuters, the Spanish government says Talgo is a strategic asset, so it will look carefully at the deal.

At a checkpoint in a remote part of Guinea, an official scanned his eyes repeatedly over Pelumi Nubi’s car in disbelief. “I asked him, ‘What are you looking for?’ And he replied, ‘The other person.’ Then he looked me dead in the eye and asked, ‘Where’s the driver?’ I was holding the steering wheel. My right-hand driving confused him, but people couldn’t fathom that I was doing this by myself. It’s interesting what societies expect from women, and the box they keep us in.”

Before Australia’s East Coast burnished its reputation as a haven of sun, sand and sea, it was the temperate climate of Tasmania, the country’s largest island, that lured visitors from across the British Empire. Sometimes called the “sanitarium of the south,” it was noted for its salubrious climes, which were considered an antidote to havoc wrought on delicate constitutions by tours in the equatorial colonies. Some two centuries later, the heart-shaped landmass 150 miles off the mainland’s southeast coast is still seen as a place of invigorating isolation.
