Perpetual (ASX:PPT) said an independent expert deemed the proposed acquisition of the global asset manager's wealth management and corporate trust businesses by a Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co affiliate as not in the best interest of shareholders, according to a Tuesday filing with the Australian bourse.
The expert cited the risk and magnitude of the increased potential tax liabilities should the transaction be implemented as the basis for its conclusion, the filing said.
