April 24 (Reuters) - Australian funeral services
provider InvoCare IVC.AX said on Monday that U.S.-based
private equity firm TPG Global had withdrawn its A$1.81 billion
($1.21 billion) buyout bid for the company after it did not
grant TPG due diligence.
The A$12.65 ($8.47) per share indicative offer from TPG was
deemed by InvoCare's board to "not provide compelling value for
shareholders."
