Shares in oil and gas producer Santos closed 16 per cent higher at $A6.32 on 22 October 2015, in response to a takeover approach from Scepter Partners. The Bermuda-based private equity firm’s $A7.14bn non-binding offer is pitched at $A6.88 per share, which has been described as "opportunistic" by Santos. Romano Sala Tenna of Katana Asset Management agrees with this assessment, although Mark Samter of Credit Suisse believes that Scepter’s offer represents good value for Santos investors.
