AOF continue to defend a proposed takeover by US giant PE firm, Starwood. In November 2018, Starwood adjusted their offer price for AOF to $2.95 per unit after taking in account the proposed distribution. AOF’s independent board rejected the proposal stating that as did not represent compelling value for AOF unitholders. At the time of publication of this article AOF were trading at $2.67, following a high of $2.90 in October 18. #AustralianUnity
