Healthscope reportedly plans to meet with its key investors before deciding on the takeover offer, according to the report. Analysts at UBS have suggested the private equity consortium might pay more for the company if it were to spin off its pathology assets and break the company into three divisions: hospitals, pathology and property, according to the report.

Healthscope, based in Melbourne, operates 43 hospitals, owns 45 medical clinics, and offers pathology services in Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia.
