Canada's WSP Global to acquire UK's Ricardo for $490 million
(Reuters) -Canada-based WSP Global said on Wednesday that it would acquire British environmental and engineering consulting firm Ricardo for about 363.1 million pounds ($489.6 million) including debt. Under the deal, Ricardo shareholders will receive 430 pence in cash per share, a 28.4% premium to its closing price on June 10. The British company had been under pressure from rival and investor Science Group , who had been pushing for a sale or breakup of Ricardo amid calls to oust Chairman Mark Clare and other directors, citing underperformance and structural inefficiencies. Science Group, Ricardo's second-largest investor with a 21.76% stake according to LSEG data, said on Wednesday it would sell a 20% stake to WSP for about 53.5 million pounds.

(Reuters) -U.S. private equity firm KKR and Assura have agreed on the terms of a "best and final" offer for the British healthcare real estate investor's sale, valuing it at nearly 1.7 billion pounds ($2.29 billion), the companies said on Wednesday. The latest proposal from KKR and private equity firm Stonepeak Partners of 52.1 pence a share including dividends trumps the 51.7 pence offered by rival suitor Primary Health Properties last month. Assura joins a growing list of UK companies being bought out and taken private by overseas private equity firms or investment companies, attracted by cheap valuations.

Morning Bid: So, it's a framework for a deal, maybe?
(Reuters) -A look at the day ahead in European and global markets from Wayne Cole. So, apparently, they have the concept of a plan for a proposal on a framework for a deal to break the latest U.S.-China trade impasse. Which was only needed because President Trump sent that tweet claiming Beijing had broken the old deal. This deal now needs to be approved by Trump and Chairman Xi, and then implemented. At least the Chinese side thought the talks were "rational", which was a step forward. Details were scant, though the U.S. team did claim that it would resolve China's export restrictions on rare earth minerals and magnets. What Beijing got in return was not yet clear. Neither was it clear whether this truce would last any longer than the last one, which might be why the early market response was less than enthusiastic. U.S. and European stock futures were all down between 0.2% and 0.6%, and Asian shares modestly firmer. There is still the small matter of whether the April 2 levies are actually legal, with a federal appeals court allowing the tariffs to remain in effect while it reviews a lower court decision blocking them. The dollar and Treasuries were little changed as the U.S. CPI looms later in the day and any upside surprise would fan stagflationary fears, to the detriment of both markets. Analysts assume lower energy prices will keep the headline rise to 0.2%, while the core is seen up 0.3%. Attention will be on whether tariffs show up in goods prices, though the full impact is likely to appear from June onwards. Measures of volatility suggest investors really aren't prepared for a high number, so anything in line will be a relief. Treasuries also have a 10-year auction to weather, with the focus on the share taken by indirect bidders which include foreign central banks. The latter took a hefty 71% of the May sale, while primary dealers got just 8.9%. A repeat performance would be warmly welcomed.
