Adecoagro disclosed it received an unsolicited non-binding proposal from Tether Investments that would boost its stake in the company to that of majority owner.
Tether, which has a 19% stake in the sustainable production company, offered to acquire shares at $12.41 a share through a tender offer that would push its holding up to 51% of Adecoagro.
Adecoagro said its board held a meeting on Sunday to discuss the offer and will respond in due course.
Shares of Adecoagro rose 6.5% to $10.43 in premarket trading.
