Mantra Group Agrees to a A$1.18 Billion Buyout from Accor SA 

On 12 October, Australia-based Mantra Group agreed to a A$1.18 billion buyout from France-based Accor SA, following a bid just three days before. The deal will be the second biggest in Australia’s hotel sector and will create the largest hotel group in Australia with approximately 50,000 rooms or about 11 per cent of the country’s hotel market. Accor’s offer price of A$3.96 per share is a 23 per cent premium on Mantra Group’s last trade prior to the bid, and more than double of the group’s issue price of A$1.80 when it listed in 2014. Mantra’s board has unanimously voted in favour of the all-cash offer, but is still subject to a shareholder vote next March and necessary regulatory approvals.
