Recall Holdings CEO Doug Pertz believes that the revised takeover offer from US-based Iron Mountain is in the best interests of shareholders. Iron Mountain has added a cash component of $A0.50 per share to its offer of 0.1722 of its shares for each Recall share. Meanwhile, the suitor has upgraded its estimate of the likely synergies from the merger to at least $US155m ($A202m). Recall shares closed at $A7.02 on 5 June 2015.

Australian-listed records management services provider Recall has become a takeover target, in an offer worth $A2.2bn by US-based rival Iron Mountain. The bid of about $A7 a share is tipped by experts to be rebuffed by the Recall board as undervaluing the business, and may be sweetened to as much as $A9. Previous speculation about a move by Iron Mountain has lifted Recall’s stock by 27% since September 2014. The cost synergies may amount to as high as $A270m, but institutional shareholders such as Maple-Brown Abbott and Australian Foundation Investment Company may seek a quarter or more of this
