InvoCare (IVC AU): TPG Capital Makes a Move

By Arun George

  • AFR reports that TPG Capital, through UBS, is seeking to acquire 14.4m or 10.00% of Invocare Ltd (IVC AU)‘s outstanding shares at A$12.65, a 41.3% premium to the undisturbed price.
  • If the aftermarket raid is successful, TPG will follow the tried-and-test private equity playbook of securing a pre-bid stake before lobbing a non-binding offer at A$12.65 per share
  • TPG has timed its move to take advantage of the post-results price slump. While not a knockout offer, it is a starting point for the Board to secure better terms.
