Shares in DUET Group closed at $2.74 on 5 December 2016, after reaching an intra-day high of $A2.82. Hong Kong-based Cheung Kong Infrastructure has proposed to pay $A3 per share for the energy infrastructure group, whose assets include the Dampier-Bunbury gas pipeline in Western Australia. However, DUET has noted that the offer is unsolicited and not binding, and there is no certainty that CKI will make a formal bid. Mark Busuttil of JP Morgan says the offer represents full value and a rival bid is unlikely.
