re: dbrsy S Africa's Anglo's bid for De Beers surprises market Cape Town--Feb. 1--Thursday's announcement of the Anglo American-led consortium's U.S. $40 per share bid for diamond giant De Beers has taken most industry analysts by surprise, although there had been rumors of the deal earlier in the week that had been discounted. The buy-out of De Beers by Anglo American will resolve the two companies' cross-shareholding, which currently sees De Beers with a 35.4% stake in Anglo American, and Anglo with 32.3% of De Beers.
