US private equity fund Advent International has officially begun the tender offer for the shares of US-Israeli company Forescout Technologies at its revised price. Advent is now offering $29 per share at a company valuation of $1.6 billion, down from the previous offer in February of $31 per share and a company valuation of $1.9 billion, a 12% discount. Court proceedings over the disputed offer were due to begin yesterday but the parties reached an agreement last week on new terms for the deal.
