TORONTO &mdash Mantra Resources, an Australian uranium explorer with projects in Africa, rose 26 percent to 6.68 Australian dollars in Sydney, the largest increase since Oct. 9, 2006, after it agreed to a reduced takeover offer from Rosatom.
The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 Index was little changed.
Rosatom's ARMZ Uranium Holding cut its offer for Mantra by 12 percent to 1.02 billion Australian dollars because of Japan's atomic crisis. ARMZ will pay 6.87 Australian dollars a share and Mantra investors will also get a dividend of 15 Australian cents per share, Perth-based Mantra said Tuesday in a statement. The Australian company is developing uranium projects in Tanzania.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
