Brookfield The Company remains fully committed to the sales process led by Rothschild (the "Sales Process"). If Brookfield Renewable wishes to participate in the Sales Process, they will be subject to the same terms and conditions as any other bidder. Brookfield Renewable now owns 16% of shares outstanding, and although they are an important shareholder, they will not have preferential treatment in the Sales Process.
For the guy who wondered why Brookfield would be buying, consider this. Brookfield owns 16% or 10.7 million shares out of a total of 67 million shares. They need 22.8 million more shares to get to 50 % and win the proxy selling price to them of $2.50. Is that possible on the open market? I am thinking that that would drive the price up to $5. However, over 13 million shares have traded since the AGM. Is it possible they are hiding their shares in another account "Anonymous" to avoid showing up on insider trading boards? I hope I am wrong, but that is the only downside risk I can come up with from here. Ie. a fraudulent hostile takeover. Otherwise we should all put up a wall of bids at 2.75.
Hopefully the BNN comment by Jeff that "you could be hearing from me soon" is an indication that he may decide to go for company X sooner to get rid of any chance of the scenario above. If that is the case( a sale by year end) I stick by a 3.25-3.75 likely selling price. However, if Brookfield can't get to 50%, which the company may know , then a full bidding auction could get to that evaluation of $5.06 which is definately justified with Yabacoa, and the long shelf lives of these projects and land holdings etc.
Can someone please explain how it would be nearly impossible for Brookfield to slowly accumulate to 50.1%
