what happened
Australia's Ingenia Communities Group said on Friday that it had received an improved takeover proposal from the US private equity firm Warburg Pincus, according to Reuters. The offer values the company at A$2.28 billion ($1.59 billion).
The new bid of A$5.60 per share is the fifth proposal from the fund. It is 1.8% above its earlier offer and a 53.4% premium to Ingenia's closing price before Warburg Pincus first approached the company in September. The proposal includes a permitted distribution and requires Ingenia to grant exclusive due diligence access by November 10.
why it matters
Competition from AVID, which recently matched the previous A$5.50 per share bid, is supporting a premium for shareholders. Ingenia's shares have risen nearly 46% since Warburg Pincus first approached the company. The deal is not yet done, and the terms of the process deed could still change.
