The Swiss financial regulator on Monday denied an appeal by investors including Bill Gates over a proposed 2.75 billion Swiss franc takeover of Swiss firm Sika chairman and his wife Melinda as well as Cascade Investment had sought to force the French firm to buy out minority shareholders in Sika, which is controlled by the Burkard-Schenker family. Swiss financial overseer FINMA said it backed an April decision by Switzerland's takeover board that Saint-Gobain is not required to make an offer to the Baar-based chemicals firm's minority shareholders.
