<\/p>\n

London-listed office space provider IWG has received an approach from private equity firm Terra Firma Investments over a possible takeover of the company.<\/p>\n

IWG confirmed in a note today that it had been contacted by the investor regarding a potential an all-cash offer after Reuters broke the news yesterday that Terra Firma was the latest company to join the bidding war for the $3.8bn (\u00a32.9bn) company. <\/p>\n

Another private equity fund TDR Capital alongside real estate investment groups Starwood Capital and Prime Opportunities are already battling to take control of the company. <\/p>\n

It follows workspace start-up WeWork receiving a $4.4bn investment from Japanese fund SoftBank<\/a>, giving it a market valuation of $20bn. <\/p>\n
