Origin Energy’s got its re-confirmed bid within a whisker of its earlier $9 asking price, but not without making a few concessions.

The Australian utility has had to push out its ticking fee - the few cents a month compensation for potential regulatory delays - by six months, and had to accept some of the currency risk stemming from its US-dollar exposed LNG business.

It also had to put up with Brookfield and EIG Partners taking longer to come up with the revised proposal than it had hoped for, and still has to live with the fact it doesn’t yet have a binding deal. The new bid, at $8.90 a share, would see more than 90 per cent of Origin’s investors receive the headline price.
