Eletropaulo Metropolitana Eletricidade de Sao Paulo S/A's (ELPL3.BR) board of directors recommended shareholders accept Enel SpA's (ENEL.MI) takeover bid rather than a rival bid from Iberdrola SA (IBE.MC), considering its higher price.

The board, however, said it would be open to changing its recommendation if the offers were modified, according to a regulatory filing from Tuesday.

Shareholders will vote on the successful bidder on a tender on June 4. Enel offers 32.20 Brazilian reais ($8.62) a share compared with Iberdrola's offer at BRL32.10 a share, which it made through Brazilian subsidiary Neoenergia S/A (NEOE3B.SM).
