Alaska Communications System Group Inc. said Tuesday it received a takeover bid of about $325 million including debt, or $3.25 a share, from a third party, higher than the $320 million offer from Macquarie Capital and GCM Grosvenor.

Macquarie Capital and GCM had raised their bid to $3.20 a share from $3 a share. Under the current agreement, the two investment firms have the right to propose a higher bid for four days beginning Tuesday, Alaska Communications said.

Alaska Communications said it would need to pay a $6.8 million termination fee to Macquarie and GCM if it goes with the third party's offer.
