The $18 billion merger between Origin Energy and a consortium led by Canadian private equity giant Brookfield Asset Management will remain on hold yet again.
Brookfield has requested more time to conduct its due diligence.
The company had retained exclusive access to Origin’s books until the close of business this afternoon, with the deadline now pushed back to January 24.
It’s the second time an extension has been requested.
