Deutsche Wohnen SE is recommending its shareholders accept a renewed and final takeover bid by peer Vonovia SE, the German real-estate company said Tuesday.

Vonovia last week upped its bid for Deutsche Wohnen to 53 euros ($62.53) a share, after a previous EUR52 offer failed to secure the minimum 50% approval from the latter's shareholders. Vonovia, which already holds a rough 30% stake in its takeover target, said at the time that it wouldn't increase the bid any further.

The new offer is "fair and adequate," Deutsche Wohnen said, adding that a tie-up between the two companies offers strategic benefits and added value for all stakeholders.

The acceptance period for the new offer should end on Sept. 20, Deutsche Wohnen said.
