May 23 (Reuters) - The following bids, mergers,
acquisitions and disposals were reported by 0930 GMT on
Thursday:
** Nationwide Building Society said it could realise
as much as a 1.5 billion pound ($1.91 billion) gain on its
acquisition of rival Virgin Money, announced earlier this year
and expected to close in the fourth quarter.
** Hargreaves Lansdown has rejected a 4.67 billion
pound ($5.94 billion) takeover proposal from a consortium led by
CVC Advisers and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, after the
board of the investment platform said it "substantially"
undervalued its prospects.
** German packaging and medical equipment maker Gerresheimer
said it signed a purchase agreement for acquiring
Blitz LuxCo Sarl, the holding company of the Bormioli Pharma
Group, for an enterprise value of 800 million euros ($866.32
million).

of its latest takeover proposal for Anglo American,
focusing instead on allaying its target's concerns around
execution risks over the coming week, sources said.
