South Africa’s biggest labor union federation urged local shareholders, including the powerful Public Investment Corp., to oppose BHP Group Ltd.’s bid to buy Anglo American Plc.
BHP’s proposal includes a plan for Anglo to spin off its Johannesburg-listed platinum and iron ore units before an eventual takeover of the remaining assets. Anglo, founded in Johannesburg in 1917, also owns manganese and diamond mines in South Africa. While the miner was the bedrock of the South African economy for decades, it shifted its headquarters to London in the late-1990s.Play Video
A BHP spokesman referred to comments it made last week, when the company said Anglo American Platinum Ltd. and Kumba Iron Ore Ltd. would continue to be listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and would continue to be run by established South African-based management teams.
