By

Kakaku.com (TYO:2371) said Swedish private equity firm Kamgrás 1 has extended its tender offer purchase period to Aug. 17 from Aug. 3, with settlement moved to Aug. 24.

The extension follows a July 29 counter-proposal from Bain Capital affiliate BCPE Blitz Cayman and LY Corp. (TYO:4689), which priced their competing offer at 3,520 yen per share, outbidding Kamgrás 1's 3,450 yen offer, according to a Tokyo bourse filing on Friday.

Kakaku.com has requested discussions regarding a potential price increase, while Kamgrás 1 has not yet determined whether to revise its bid.
