PAI Partners has boosted its offer for diaper maker Ontex Group NV, clearing the way for the European private equity firm to start going over the company’s books. The Belgian firm’s shares surged.

Ontex’s board agreed to allow PAI to start due diligence, while “not being in a position to recommend the revised proposal” of 27.50 euros per share, the buyout firm said in a statement on Monday.
