Feb 17 (Reuters) - Australia's Perpetual Ltd PPT.AX on Monday confirmed it received an indicative buyout offer from KKR & Co KKR.N though the latest revised proposal and its quantum were not accurately described in the media.
An A$2.2 billion ($1.40 billion) deal with the buyout giant was on the back burner for the past two months after Perpetual received a much higher-than-expected tax bill, along with higher liabilities and lower shareholder returns.
