Origin Energy: Brookfield’s Energy Transition Bet

By David Blennerhassett

  • Brookfield and EIG/MidOcean are Offering Origin Energy (ORG AU) shareholders $9.00/share, a 54.9% premium to last close, by way of a Scheme. The Offer is non-binding and indicative.
  • Negotiations kicked off at $7.95 for the LNG developer in early August. Exclusive due diligence has been granted. 
  • A firm offer will be contingent on ACCC and FIRB approval. Such a takeover may actually play into the Albanese government’s future energy plans.
