what happened

The board of Australia's Ingenia Communities said it will consider an improved takeover offer from the US private-equity group Warburg Pincus. The bid is A$5.55 per share in cash, equivalent to US$3.85. Excluding a distribution of up to A$0.05 per share for the six months through December, which is not part of the offer, the effective value is A$5.60 per share.

Ingenia will compare this proposal with the offer from AVID Properties, which is controlled by L&G. Earlier this week AVID raised its all-cash offer to an effective A$5.50 per share, using its right to match Warburg Pincus's previous proposal. Dow Jones Newswires has clarified that the Warburg Pincus offer is worth US$1.67 billion, not US$1.55 billion as first reported.

why it matters

The contest between two bidders matters to the market because it could lift the final price paid to Ingenia shareholders. A deal of roughly $1.6 billion also signals private-capital interest in Australian retirement-village operators.
