Feb. 27 (Bloomberg) — BG Group Plc, the U.K.s third- biggest gas company, raised its offer for Pure Energy Resources Ltd. by 3.1 percent to A$1.03 billion ($667 million), making it conditional on getting 90 percent of the stock.
BGs increased offer of A$8.25 a share is final in the absence of a higher bid, the Reading, U.K.-based company said today in a statement to the Australian stock exchange. The move further boosts BGs offer above a rival cash and stock bid by Arrow Energy Ltd., Royal Dutch Shell Plcs Australian partner in coal-seam gas.
BG, Shell and Arrow are seeking more reserves to feed proposed liquefied natural gas projects in Queensland that may meet rising demand in north Asia for cleaner-burning fuels. Brisbane-based Pures Independent directors and two key shareholders yesterday said they accepted BGs offer, taking BGs interest in the target to about 29 percent, while Arrow has 20.2 percent and Shell about 11.2 percent.
The latest offer from BG is 10 Australian cents higher than Pures closing price of A$8.15 in Sydney yesterday. Pure had been trading above all the offer prices since they were made.
Brisbane-based Arrow said yesterday it was still considering all options on the takeover.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
