(Reuters) – Pension fund AustralianSuper said on Thursday it intended to vote against Brookfield-consortium’s “best and final” takeover offer for Origin Energy Ltd that valued the power producer at A$16.40 billion ($10.53 billion).
The consortium’s sweetened offer of A$9.53 per share comes days after AustralianSuper, Origin’s biggest shareholder, rejected the prior offer of A$8.81 apiece.
