Oct 18 (Reuters) - Australia's HomeCo Daily Needs REIT (HDN) said on Monday it and property firm Home Consortium (HMC) offered to buy asset manager Aventus Group (AVN) in a deal valued at A$2.18 billion ($1.62 billion).
Shareholders of the New South Wales-based asset manager have been offered an implied A$3.82 per security, representing a 15.8% premium to its closing price on Friday.
"The increased scale and enhanced capability will allow the merged group to unlock significant value that would not have been accessible on a standalone basis," said Simon Shakesheff, HomeCo Daily Needs REIT's chairman.
The real estate investment trust said the combined company would have a portfolio of A$4.1 billion and a market value of $3.2 billion.
Following the merger, Darren Holland and Lawrence Wong of Aventus will be appointed as the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of HomeCo Daily Needs REIT, respectively. ($1 = 1.3468 Australian dollars)
