MYOB AGREES TO KKR, EXCEPT Featured

MYOBAfter initially rejecting a takeover bid by KKR, Australia-based MYOB has accepted an offer of $3.40 (Australian) per share for the shares KKR does not already. There is one big exception to this—MYOB is free to solicit competing proposals until February 22.

KKR has agreed to sell shares into or vote in favor of any superior bid. The competing bid must be at least 5 percent higher than KKR’s. That said, the software company’s directors have unanimously recommended shareholders approve the bid. KKR and related entities own 19.9 percent of MYOB shares. Mid-December, MYOB rejected the bid after it was lowered from $3.77 Australian per share.
