Nov 23 (Reuters) - Australia's Origin Energy said it would delay a shareholder vote due on Thursday to approve a $10.6 billion bid from a Brookfield-EIG consortium to consider a new offer received from the group.
The new offer proposes the sale of the energy markets business to Brookfield for A$12.3 billion ($8.00 billion), with a subsequent off market takeover offer by EIG for Origin, subject to certain conditions, the company said.
