flag BlueScope Steel to pay $438M dividend after rejecting $13B takeover bid.

flag BlueScope Steel, Australia's largest steelmaker, will pay a $438 million special dividend of $1 per share to shareholders after rejecting a $13 billion takeover bid from the Stokes family and U.S. firm Steel Dynamics. flag The payout is funded by surplus cash from asset sales, including its 50% stake in the Tata BlueScope joint venture in India, the $76 million sale of 33 hectares of land in West Dapto, NSW, and the release of about $200 million in working capital. flag The move aims to reward investors and strengthen the company’s financial position following the failed acquisition attempt.
