ESpeed's bid for MTS sweetened
(by Olivia Cohen)

The bid of the dominant trading platform for US Treasury bonds ESpeed has sweetened its bid for the eurozone government bond trading platform MTS. The company agreed to offer a seat on its own board to an Italian Finance Ministry official to get the European bond trading platform.

MTS, which is also a target for a rival consortium composed of Euronext and Borsa Italiana, is weaker to eSpeed now with a lucrative offer that can give the American trading platform dominant position needed to acquire MTS.

ESpeed has argued that its offer is a great chance for MTS to link with the exchanges of America and Asia.

Under the terms of the agreement, eSpeed offers €235 million for MTS, while its European rival proposed €210 million.

MTS’s board will discuss the offer during its meeting on Tuesday, the company said in a statement.
