Stories naming Austal. Where several outlets covered the same round, they are bundled under whichever ran the fullest account.
Austal has received an indicative US$1.25 billion offer from a Wildcat Infrastructure-led syndicate for its US shipbuilding arm, outbidding Hanwha, while heavy US losses weigh on the group.
Hanwha of South Korea has tabled an early, non-binding bid for the American shipbuilding business of Australia's Austal, leaving out its Australian, Philippine and Vietnamese units; a four-week diligence window follows.
Hanwha's US subsidiary has made an indicative offer of US$1.05–1.20 billion for Austal's American business; the target's board approved a four-week due diligence window, with the proposal excluding its home-market operations.
