REA Group, the Australian online property website majority-owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp empire, said Monday it has made a third multi-billion-pound offer to buy British peer Rightmove.
The latest proposal, worth £6.1 billion (US$8.1 billion), comes after Rightmove rejected REA's previous two bids made this month.
"We are genuinely disappointed at the lack of engagement by Rightmove's Board," REA CEO Owen Wilson said in a statement published on the London Stock Exchange.
Rightmove confirmed in a statement that it had received a third proposal that was "unsolicited, non-binding and highly conditional".
Rightmove chairman Andrew Fisher said the board rejected the first two proposals as they "were uncertain, highly opportunistic and unattractive".
