    (Adds details on current proposal, background)

    April 4 (Reuters) - Australian aged-care provider Estia Health Ltd (EHE) said on Tuesday it will provide its suitor Bain Capital with a limited period of access to the company's non-public financial and other information on hopes of a revived and improved proposal.

    Late in March, Estia received a non-binding buyout proposal from the U.S. private investment firm for A$775.1 million ($523.11 million). The proposal implies a value of A$3.00 per share, which was at a 28.2% premium to Estia's close at the time of receiving the offer.

    "The board does not regard the indicative proposal as compelling having regard to price and conditionality," Estia said in a statement.

    The Sydney-based company said it plans to hold back on acquiring shares under its recent on-market share buyback program keeping in mind its engagement with Bain, which is preliminary in nature.
