Shares of Dorel were down about 2% at $15.40 on the news. Investment advisory firms Brandes Investment Partners and Letko, Brosseau & Associates Inc, which own about 7% and 12% of outstanding class B subordinate shares of Dorel, respectively, said the revised offer "significantly undervalues" the company. (prn.to/39DYVsD) ADVERTISEMENT Cerberus on Monday raised the deal value to about C$16.00 per share from C$14.50 per share, or about C$470 million, offered three months earlier. The raised bid represents a premium of about 2% to the stock’s last close. Under the earlier deal, affiliates of Cerberus and the family shareholders of Dorel would pay C$14.50 apiece for shares of the company that the family does not currently hold.
