KKR has all-but-abandoned its A$88/share cash offer for Ramsay Health Care (RHC AU),  Australia's largest private hospital group.
KKR's alternative proposal involves $88/share for the 5,000 RHC shares, followed by A$78.20/cash + 0.22 Ramsay Generale de Sante (GDS FP) shares thereafter - or an indicative value of A$84.93/share.
Despite announcing horrible annual results, Ramsay's board considers the alternative proposal to be meaningfully inferior to the KKR's indicative proposal of $88.00/share.
