(Adds details on acquisition in paragraphs 2-5)
Sept 5 (Reuters) - Australian packaging firm Orora Ltd (ORA) said on Tuesday it will acquire French high-end glass bottle manufacturer Saverglass from private equity firm Carlyle Group CG.O for an enterprise value of A$2.16 billion ($1.40 billion).
It said in a statement it will start a capital raising of A$1.35 billion to pay for the acquisition.
Orora will fund the acquisition via an A$450 million institutional placement, an A$895 million 1-for-2.55 accelerated non-renounceable pro rata entitlement offer, as well as A$875 million of debt financing, it said in a statement.
Shares of the company will not recommence trading on the ASX until Orora announces the results of the institutional entitlement offer and placement, Orora said.
They were placed on a trading halt on Aug. 28 and later remained under voluntary suspension as the company had to delay an official buyout announcement.
