Origin Energy (All But) Supports Brookfield/EIG’s Revised Terms

By David Blennerhassett

  • The Brookfield/EIG consortium has reduced its Offer for Origin (ORG AU) to ~A$8.90/share, down from A$9.00/share, after conducting due diligence in the wake of the Aussie government’s gas price intervention.

  • For its part, Origin’s board reckons the revised proposal has the potential to deliver significant value to shareholders, all but guaranteeing board support, assuming a firm Offer unfolds.
