    July 26 (Reuters) - Australia's Pacific Current Group (PAC) received a non-binding buyout proposal from Regal Partners Ltd (RPL) , which values the asset manager at A$573.5 million ($388.1 million), the companies said on Wednesday.

    Under the proposal, Pacific Current shareholders will get A$7.50 in cash per share and 2.2 shares of GQG Partners GQPIL.PK , which Regal manages, taking the total consideration to an implied value of A$11.12 per share.

    This represents a premium of 42.6% to Pacific Current's last close of A$7.8.

    An independent board committee will evaluate the proposal, Pacific Current said in a statement, adding that shareholders do not need to take any action in the mean time.

    Shares of Pacific Current closed up 0.3% on Wednesday.
