    "excerpt": "One of Cleanaway’s biggest shareholders has slammed the board’s handling of a buyout offer from Swedish investment giant EQT, which values the nation’s top waste management operator at $9.4 billion, saying the premium being offered is underwhelming given the company’s depressed share price. Other investors also gave a lukewarm response , despite the company granting EQT Infrastructure a nine-week period for exclusive due diligence and stating its intention to recommend the $3.13-a-share proposal once it is firmed up.
