Perpetual Secures Higher Indicative Buyout Offer from EQT

Perpetual Limited (ASX: PPT) has received a further revised, non-binding and conditional proposal from EQT AB, through Windflower Pte. Limited, to acquire 100% of the company via a scheme of arrangement at AU$22.50 per share. The revised offer represents a 2% increase over EQT’s previous indicative proposal of AU$22.07 per share and a 4% improvement on its initial AU$21.64 proposal announced earlier in July. The proposed transaction is contingent on a range of prerequisites, including the successful completion of due diligence, finalisation of legally binding agreements, receipt of the necessary regulatory clearances, and the completion of the previously announced divestment of Perpetual's Wealth Management business to Bain Capital.

Perpetual’s Board is reviewing the revised proposal with support from its financial and legal advisers but has not formed a view on its merits or made any recommendation to shareholders. The company emphasised that there is no certainty a binding offer or transaction will emerge, and shareholders are not required to take any action at this stage. Meanwhile, Perpetual reaffirmed confidence in its standalone strategy, supported by its simplification program, diversified earnings from Corporate Trust and Asset Management operations, and ongoing execution of the Wealth Management divestment.
