Bain Capital Exits Bid for Australia’s oOh!Media After Weekend Review

3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 17

Summary

  • Bain Capital has dropped its pursuit of oOh!Media, ending its effort to take the Australian outdoor advertising company private, according to the Australian Financial Review.
  • The firm spent the weekend reconsidering the deal and then chose not to proceed, the report said, without identifying the source of the information.
  • Bain had previously submitted a conditional, non-binding offer for oOh!Media, so its withdrawal removes that proposal before it advanced to a binding stage.
