what happened

Australian retirement village operator Ingenia Communities has ended Warburg Pincus's access to due diligence materials after AVID Properties matched the New York private equity group's bid, according to Dow Jones Newswires.

The ASX-listed company said on Monday that it had closed its books to Warburg Pincus. AVID, linked to L&G, lifted its all-cash proposal to A$5.45 per share, about US$3.83. Because the offer leaves out a possible distribution of up to A$0.05 per share for the six months to December, the effective value is A$5.50 a share.

Ingenia's board said AVID's proposal looked equal to or better than the Warburg Pincus offer made last week, which had responded to AVID's earlier A$5.35 proposal. The process deed with AVID remains in force, while the board has yet to decide whether AVID's bid is superior to the Peet acquisition.

why it matters

Competing bids that push the price higher generally benefit shareholders of the target company. AVID's parent, Proprium Capital Partners, is three-quarters held by London-listed asset manager L&G, which adds weight to the deal.
