Origin Energy (ORG.AX) on Thursday said an independent evaluation of its A$15.35 billion ($9.67 billion) takeover from a Brookfield Corp-led (BN.TO) consortium valued Origin's equity at A$8.45 - A$9.48 per share, deeming it "fair and reasonable".
The range covers the offer price of about A$8.81 apiece from the consortium's March bid.
However, shares of Origin, the country's second-largest power generator, closed much higher than the offer price at A$9.21 in the previous session.
Brookfield declined to respond to a Reuters request for comment.
