Advent International rules out making competing offer for Senior
Advent International LP on Wednesday said it does not intend to make a bid for Senior PLC, clearing the way for an agreed deal with the Tinicum Inc and Blackstone Inc consortium.
Late February, Boston, US-based private equity form Advent said it was considering a possible offer for Senior, which was rejected by the Hertfordshire, England-based engineering and manufacturing company.
Advent said its last proposal was at a total value of up to 272 pence per Senior share.
In March, Senior confirmed rival bids from the Tinicum/Blackstone consortium and Arcline Investment Management LP were also made in February.
Last week, New York-based private equity firm Arcline said it was not intending to make an offer for Senior.
On Tuesday, Senior said it had accepted a 300 pence per share offer from the Tinicum and Blackstone consortium.
The offer values the firm at £1.28 billion on a fully diluted basis, and implies an enterprise value of £1.40 billion.
Under the agreement, shareholders will receive 297.85p in cash and a final dividend of 2.15p per share for every share in Senior held.
Shares in Senior were down 1.4% at 287.00p each in London on Wednesday afternoon.
