EQT

BGH Capital has tabled a non-binding takeover bid for EQT Holdings that values EQT at A$663 million, or A$24.75 in cash per share, and narrowly tops a competing offer from TPG. The news sent EQT’s stock up almost 10% and produced an intraday high of A$23.10. The offer follows recently released annual results and comes after EQT faced heavy pressure this year from an ASIC civil case and its withdrawal from the pension fund trustee business. » Más en de.investing.com
