Oct 28 (Reuters) - Australia's AUB Group AUB.AX said on Tuesday it had received a takeover offer from Swedish private equity firm EQT EQTAB.ST, in a deal valuing the insurance broking company at A$5.25 billion ($3.41 billion).

Under the proposal, EQT is offering A$45 per AUB share, which reflects a 25.1% premium to the Australian company's last close.
