Onex finally convinced the largest airline in Australia to accept their offer of $11.1 billion, after being turned down previously. Quantas Airways agreed to the take over, only after Onex and its partners revised their conditions and settled for $5.60 a share. Due to the strict government regulations, foreign owners are limited to owning 49 percent of the airliner. Onex will receive a return investment of $445 million, with a 12.5 percent stake. Investors that are located outside of Australia may not own more than a quarter, which puts Macquarie Bank and Allco, as the major shareholders.
