靠谱全球周一表示，在布鲁克菲尔德提出收购这家澳大利亚公司的要约期间，“寻购”过程中未出现竞争要约，促使董事会重申一致建议股东支持该交易。
Reliance Worldwide said on Monday that no rival bidder emerged during the "go shop" process under Brookfield's proposed acquisition of the Australian firm, prompting the board to reaffirm its unanimous recommendation for shareholders to back the deal.
该管道供应公司9月曾达成一份计划实施协议，据该协议，布鲁克菲尔德资本伙伴及其关联方将以每股3.38美元现金收购靠谱全球全部股份，使公司估值达到25.3亿美元。该要约基于10月16日的汇率暗示每股约合4.87澳元。
Here are some more details: The plumbing supplies firm agreed in September to a scheme implementation deed under which Brookfield Capital Partners and its affiliates would acquire all of Reliance Worldwide's shares for US$3.38 apiece in cash, valuing the firm at $2.53 billion. The offer implied a value of about A$4.87 per share based on the prevailing exchange rate on October 16.
靠谱全球上月表示，若交易得以进行并获股东批准，投资者可选择以美元或澳元收取付款。
Investors can choose to be paid in US dollars or Australian dollars if the deal proceeds and is approved by shareholders, Reliance said last month.
双方曾约定一项在澳大利亚交易中罕见的“寻购”条款，该条款允许靠谱全球寻求竞争要约、共享尽职调查资料并协商条款。
The companies had agreed to a "go shop" provision, unusual in Australian deals, that allowed Reliance Worldwide to seek rival bids, share due diligence materials and negotiate terms.
“尽管在‘寻购’过程中与潜在买家进行了广泛接触，但未收到任何要约，”靠谱全球在其声明中称。
"Whilst there was extensive engagement with potential buyers during the 'Go Shop' process, no proposal was received," Reliance said in its statement.
该期限结束后，计划实施协议中 customary 的禁止寻求、禁止谈判和禁止尽职调查的限制条款已生效。
After that period, customary no-shop, no-talk and no-due-diligence restrictions under the scheme implementation deed have come into effect.
董事会再次建议股东在没有出现更优要约的情况下，支持该计划投票。
The board again recommended that shareholders vote in favour of the scheme, in the absence of a superior proposal.
