June 7 (Reuters) - Australian telecoms company Vocus Group Ltd said on Wednesday it received an indicative takeover offer from private equity firm KKR & Co LP which valued the company at A$2.2 billion ($1.65 billion).

Vocus said KKR made a non-binding indicative offer to buy all its shares for A$3.50 in cash, a 22 percent premium to the stock's closing price the previous day.
