In a significant move, Adecco, the global leader in HR services, has increased its offer price for all outstanding shares of DIS AG from EUR 54.50 to EUR 58.50 per share in cash. This decision follows an agreement with German Voith AG and Jupiter Asset Management, who have agreed to sell their shares in DIS AG based on the increased offer price.
