Estia Health on Monday signed a deal to be taken over by U.S. investment company Bain Capital for an equity value of A$838 million ($550.82 million), sending shares of the Australian aged care operator almost 10% higher.
Estia is one of Australia's largest aged care operators, having more than 6,500 places in 70 sites across the country.
"The Board is confident as to the outlook for the business, however, recognises that the scheme allows shareholders to realise certain cash value now at an attractive premium," Estia Chair Gary Weiss said on Monday. "The improved offer price in June was a good one for Estia shareholders and the effective signing of the scheme shows some private equity deals do go through," said Henry Jennings, senior market analyst at Marcustoday Financial Newsletter.Estia's board unanimously recommended its shareholders vote in favor of the proposal, adding that a shareholder vote is set to happen in November.
The company said in a statement that under the deal, it is now permitted to pay fully franked dividends of up to A$0.12 per share. Reporting by Rishav Chatterjee in Bengaluru; Editing by Diane Craft, Lisa Shumaker and Sherry Jacob-Phillips
