Takeover bid by LNN on the table..
$6.15 cash/share + 0.469 LNN shares for each CCL.
Implied offer price of $10.35 based on Friday's prices.
The proposed consideration mix under the Base Offer (approximately 60% cash/40% scrip)
would provide CCA shareholders with both an attractive cash premium and an ongoing
participation in the benefits of the merged group.
Lion Nathan has also proposed a mix and match facility which would provide CCA shareholders with the opportunity to select either the Base Offer (which is $6.15 cash plus 0.469 Lion Nathan ordinary shares per CCA share), Maximum Cash Consideration (representing $10.25 cash per CCA share), or Maximum Scrip Consideration (which is 1.171 Lion Nathan ordinary shares per CCA share valued at $11.61 per CCA share based on an EPP of $9.92). Both the Maximum Cash Consideration and the
Maximum Scrip Consideration are subject to scale back.
While CCA has rejected it as being too low, at the moment market seems to be hoping for a counter-offer.
Good results for CCL today:
- Record first half net profit of $212.7 million, up 12.1 per cent on the prior corresponding half year.
- EBIT was $373.8 million, up 10 per cent, and earnings per share rose 10.1 per cent to 28.3 cents.
- SP up 47 or 4.18% to $11.72.
- Interim dividend of 20.5 cps, up from 18.5 cps last year.
Looks like CCLs Indonesian operations are really taking off, with growth of 20%.
I have liked there growth opportunities for a while now and it looks like they are going to continue growing going from the CEO's comments.
Debt levels have been reduced steadily, falling from $2,159m in 06 to $1,710m now. With interest cover increasing from 3.8x to 5.6x over the same period.
Any other thoughts on CCL?
