RE: RE: RE: RE: Crew Buyout
RE: RE: RE: RE: Crew BuyoutI'd say the chances of a successful buyout are 99.9%. I read through the regulations on this last night and the way it reads, Severstal can squeeze out the last 10% at the price of the tender offer. There has not been a tender offer yet since Severstal acquired the 90% holding by other means. This suggest to me that they will have to make a formal offer for the remaining shares, send out a circular with fairness opinion etc. After the tender expires, they can squeeze out any remaining holdouts. I think the price has to be at or above the $4.79 received by Endeavour; Severstal twice announced purchases well above that. One was almost $7!
There is no doubt Severstal will do this. Why acquire 93% and remain public, which involves invites unwanted scutiny.
This may take several months but holders should be rewarded with a 10-40% gain.
