The Steadfast Group Ltd (ASX: SDF) share price is back in the spotlight today, as the company announces a major update on a potential takeover bid, with a non-binding indicative proposal by a consortium now including global investor KKR alongside Amwins and Dragoneer. The offer stands at $6.00 per share in cash.
What did Steadfast Group report?

- Current exclusivity and process deed remains in place with Amwins, Dragoneer, and now KKR
- There is no certainty a binding agreement will be reached
What else do investors need to know?
Amwins and Dragoneer confirmed that KKR’s addition to the consortium as co-lead investment partner will not affect the current timetable or process. The participation of KKR is not a condition for Amwins and Dragoneer to enter a binding deal with Steadfast.
