AMSTERDAM — Dutch investor HAL on Thursday said it intends to buy dredger Boskalis in a deal that would value the Dutch company at 4.2 billion euros ($4.7 billion).
HAL, which already owns 46.2% of Boskalis, said it would offer 32.50 euros per share, a premium of 28% on Boskalis’ closing price on Wednesday.
Boskalis confirmed the offer and said it would carefully consider it.
