In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, Consunji-led DMCI said it made a joint offer with D&A Income Ltd. to acquire all of the existing shares of ENK Plc for 0.19 pounds apiece.

Total takeover price was pegged at 49.8 million pounds, ENK told the LSE. DMCI's share would amount to 31 million pounds.
