  • BlueScope Steel faces an A$13.15 billion takeover proposal from SGH and Steel Dynamics.
  • The offer values BlueScope at A$30 per share, a 27% premium.
  • SGH would retain BlueScope's Australian and Asian operations, while Steel Dynamics would acquire the North American business.
  • BlueScope's board is evaluating the proposal after previously rejecting three lower offers.
