Feb 17 (Reuters) - Australia's Perpetual Ltd ( PPTTF ) on

Monday confirmed it received an indicative buyout offer from KKR

& Co ( KKR ) though the latest revised proposal and its quantum

were not accurately described in the media.

An A$2.2 billion ($1.40 billion) deal with the buyout giant

was on the back burner for the past two months after Perpetual

received a much higher-than-expected tax bill, along with higher

liabilities and lower shareholder returns.
