A statement by Multiplex on the 拢2.17-a-share bid said it had not received any other binding offers for the company, which built the new Wembley stadium, since Brookfield approached the founding family in January, securing the support for the Roberts鈥� 25.6% holding last month.

A report by an independent valuation firm Samuel and Associates, which was included in the statement, said the Brookfield bid 鈥渞epresents fair value in a change of control transaction鈥�. Multiplex's other high profile schemes include the new White City shopping centre and a new PFI hospital in Peterborough.
