AUB Group Fields Consortium Proposal from EQT and CVC

AUB Group released an update on 7 November 2025 regarding ongoing discussions with EQT AB for a potential acquisition, now expanded to include CVC Asia Pacific Limited as part of a consortium. The announcement extended the exclusivity period with EQT until 21 November 2025 to facilitate due diligence and negotiation of a binding scheme implementation deed. Key details include no formal proposal yet received, but EQT's indicative offer remains under consideration, with AUB's board committed to evaluating options that maximise shareholder value. This follows an earlier extension announced on 31 October 2025, highlighting continued interest in a take-private transaction. The update emphasises that discussions are incomplete and there's no certainty of a deal proceeding. Source: ASX Announcement.
