Real estate company ESR (HKG:1821) received a proposal from consortium MEGA BidCo to take the Hong Kong-listed company private for about HK$55.2 billion, according to a Wednesday filing with the Hong Kong Exchange.

The consortium includes shareholders such as Starwood Capital Group, Warburg Pincus, and Qatar Holding, among others.

The price of HK$13 per share is 55.7% higher than the real estate firm's closing price on April 24 before the submission of the non-binding offer, the filing said.

The real estate company, which is the largest real asset manager in Asia Pacific, has $154 billion in assets under management. It has 4,245,428,349 shares in issue.

Scheme shareholders will be allowed to utilize a cash alternative, including a cancellation price of HK$13 per every scheme share held, a share alternative that includes one equity share for every share, or a mix of cash and shares, the filing said.

Once the acquisition is completed, ESR will be delisted from the Hong Kong bourse.
