PartnerRe investor says sweetened Exor offer "superior" to Axis bid
May 12 (Reuters) - One of PartnerRe Ltd's biggest shareholders said Exor SpA's sweetened offer for the Bermuda-based reinsurer was "clearly superior" to Axis Capital Holdings Ltd's for the company.
Exor, the investment vehicle of Italy's Agnelli family, raised its all-cash offer for PartnerRe by 5.8 percent to $137.5 per share after its previous attempt to trump a bid by Axis was rejected. (Reporting by Richa Naidu in Bengaluru; Editing by Simon Jennings)
