(Reuters) - Vocus Group Ltd on Tuesday said Swedish private equity firm EQT Infrastructure had withdrawn its A$3.3 billion ($2.30 billion) buyout offer, making it the fourth suitor to drop its bid for the telecoms company in the last two years.....The withdrawal comes just a few days after Australian energy retailer AGL Energy Ltd revealed it had made and then ditched a takeover offer for Vocus as it could not agree on due diligence terms with the telecoms firm.

At the time of unveiling its half-year results, AGL Energy indicated that it is looking for growth opportunities to meet the needs of increasingly connected customers as energy and data value streams continue to converge.
