    Saputo has again increased its holding in takeover target Warrnambool Cheese & Butter Factory Co (ASX:WCB).


     


    The Canadian dairy giant says it’s lifted its voting power to 9.6 per cent - up from 4.8 per cent.


     


    Saputo this week said it would increase its offer price to $9.20 cash per WCB share, from $9 per share, if it reached a relevant interest of more than 50 per cent during the offer period.


     


    Rival suitors Murray Goulburn Co-operative and Bega Cheese Limited (ASX:BGA) have asked the Takeovers Panel to stop Saputo from acquiring WCB shares on market.


     


    Warrnambool Cheese & Butter Factory reported a net profit of $7.5 million in the 2013 financial year.
