随着针对澳大利亚养老生活住宿所有者的竞购战升级，AVID Property Group Holdings提出收购要约后，Communities Group股价飙升。
Communities Group shares soared following a takeover bid from AVID Property Group Holdings, as a bidding war ramps up for the owner of Australian retirement living accommodation.
截至周一上午10:58，该股在悉尼上涨8.3%。总部位于悉尼的AVID提出每份订书证券5.35澳元，外加年底前每股最多5澳分的潜在分配，据Ingenia声明称。
The stock was up 8.3% as of 10:58 a.m. in Sydney on Monday. Sydney-based AVID has offered A$5.35 per stapled security and up to five Australian cents per share in potential distributions by the end of the calendar year, according to a statement from Ingenia.
此前私募股权公司Warburg Pincus已连续提出多轮出价。根据声明，按当前股本计算，AVID的每股出价使Ingenia市值约为22亿澳元（约16亿美元），并获得一家全球主权财富基金和一家全球财务赞助商的支持。
The offer follows a succession of bids from private equity firm Warburg Pincus. The per-share AVID offer gives Ingenia a market capitalization of around A$2.2 billion ($1.6 billion) based on its current share count and comes with backing from a global sovereign wealth fund and a global financial sponsor, according to the statement.
AVID的提议略高于Warburg Pincus上月底提出的每股5.25澳元出价。
The proposal is slightly higher than the A$5.25 per share bid from Warburg Pincus late last month.
根据Ingenia声明，AVID的要约取决于一系列条件，包括完成尽职调查、Ingenia董事会支持并一致推荐接受该要约。该提议还取决于Ingenia退出8月与Peet Limited达成的收购协议。
The AVID offer is contingent on a series of conditions, including the firm completing due diligence and the support of the Ingenia board for a unanimous recommendation to back the offer, according to the Ingenia statement. The proposal is also contingent on Ingenia walking away from a takeover deal secured in August with Peet Limited.
根据声明，Ingenia董事会与AVID签署了流程契约，并授予其长达六周的“软性”独家期。公司表示：“由于Ingenia与AVID签署流程契约，Ingenia已终止Warburg Pincus对Ingenia数据室的访问权限。”
The Ingenia board entered into a process deed with AVID and granted it a period of ‘soft’ exclusivity of up to six weeks, according to statement. “As a result of Ingeniag the process deed with AVID, Ingenia has terminated Warburg Pincus’ access to Ingenia’s data room,” the company said.
