They have recommended these terms to shareholders.

Bid may undervalue Mediclinic

South African analysts say the 504p per share, £3.7bn proposed cash offer for Mediclinic International's equity, the South African, Swiss and Middle East hospital group may somewhat undervalue the business. The current offer equates to an enterprise value of £5.88bn. Analysts put the break up value on an enterprise value at between £5.5bn and £6.2bn. HBI reckons the equity alone could be worth £5.2bn.
