BKN Bradken Fpo (delisted)

By Rebecca Thurlow

SYDNEY--Australia's Bradken Ltd (BKN.AU) said Thursday it had received enquiries from other parties since announcing an offer from Pacific Equity Partners (PEP.YY) and Bain Capital LLC (BCI.XX) last week.

Bradken, a producer of products for the mining, energy and freight-rail industries, announced on Friday that the pair of private-equity firms had made an indicative offer to buy the company for A$5.10 a share, valuing the target at 872 million Australian dollars (US$729 million).

"The company has also received additional inbound enquiries since the announcement on 5 December which the board will consider should they develop further," Bradken said in a statement Thursday. "There can be no assurances that any of these discussions, including the proposal, will result in a transaction."
