China's Fosun among bidders eyeing Origin's energy assets
Origin's smaller Australia and NZ oil and gas assets, valued at A$2b, to be spun off in IPO or sold
Melbourne
AUSTRALIA'S top energy retailer Origin has drawn interest from at least five potential bidders, including China's Fosun International, for A$2 billion (S$2.06 billion) worth of oil and gas assets it aims to spin off, sources said.
Origin said in December it was going to put its smaller Australian and New Zealand gas fields in a unit, dubbed Lattice Energy, to be spun off in an initial public offering (IPO) this year to help it cut debt and boost returns.
