An Australian life insurer offered $11.80 per share for the roughly 79.5% of Challenger it does not already own. The proposal is non-binding and conditional, and Challenger announced the offer to the Australian Securities Exchange while releasing its first-quarter results. The share price rose to $11.41 during Monday's trading, which is 16% above Friday’s close of $9.85.
