Schaeffler's recent announcement regarding its voluntary public purchase offer for all outstanding shares of Vitesco Technologies, followed by the subsequent merger of Vitesco Technologies into Schaeffler AG, has ignited a pressing question: Who stands to benefit more from this deal? In the dynamic realm of mergers and acquisitions, the advantage often rests with the party armed with superior information and insights. To assess the merits of this transaction, we embark on an analysis from a purely market-driven perspective, taking into account a spectrum of vital financial metrics that are indispensable in the realm of informed investment decision-making. Schaeffler's proposal of €91 per share for Vitesco Technologies serves as the initial focal point for our examination. This offer culminates in an equity price of €3,641,929,200. And leading investment firms, that are minority shareholders in Vitesco Technologies like Ninety One already question the price. Furthermore, the enterprise value, factoring in components such as €672,100,000 in cash and €427,400,000.0 in debt, stands at €3,397,229,000. Let's begin our analysis by examining benchmark multiples from comparable firms in the market. These multiples are crucial for evaluating the potential of Schaeffler's voluntary public purchase offer for Vitesco Technologies. We'll consider both enterprise value (EV) multiples and price multiples. #decisionintelligence #automotive https://lnkd.in/ei5CjmEB

New Post: Ssangyong C&E Faces a Bold 700 Billion KRW Takeover and Delisting Challenge by Han & Company – Where is the Market Headed? (TrendHub KR – Posts by ICARUS Journalist) Han & Company's (hereafter Han & Co.) 700 billion KRW bid for a complete takeover and voluntary delisting of Ssangyong C&E has sent significant ripples through the South Korean financial market. This move is evaluated as a strategic maneuver by Han & Co. to cement its unparalleled position within the cement industry and to enhance long-term value. Starting from February 5, 2024, this acquisition aims for Han & Co. to secure the entirety of Ssangyong C&E's stakes, drawing considerable attention from the market. Han & Co. has revealed its plan to acquire an additional 20.1% stake in Ssangyong C&E through this public tender offer. The offer price has been set at 7,000 KRW per share, approximately 9.2% higher than the last trading day's closing price. This decision is part of Han & Co.'s ongoing efforts to enhance the company's value since its acquisition, particularly aiming at financial restructuring and diversification of the business in line with mid-to-long-term strategic plans. The announcement of this takeover and delisting plan has elicited mixed reactions from investors. While some view Han & Co.'s long-term vision and efforts to increase Ssangyong C&E's value positively, others express concerns over the potential reduction in market liquidity and investment diversity following the delisting. This move by Han & Co. aligns with the growing trend of private equity firms acquiring listed companies followed by delisting. It represents a strategic choice to shift focus from short-term shareholder value pressures to the long-term value and growth potential of the company. Such initiatives are increasingly observed both domestically and internationally, serving as part of a value enhancement strategy through active management participation and restructuring post-acquisition. Dual Insight Analysis Positive Perspective: Long-term Value Enhancement and Strategic Repositioning: Han & Co.'s bid for a complete takeover and subsequent delisting of Ssangyong C&E can be seen as a strategic action aimed at enhancing the company's long-term value and strengthening its competitiveness within the cement industry. By moving towards delisting, the company can escape the pressures of short-term shareholder value, focusing more on mid-to-long-term structural and efficiency improvements. This could potentially maximize corporate value and market dominance. Boosting Investor Confidence: Such a decision by Han & Co. sends a positive signal to investors, showcasing a commitment to prioritize corporate value from a long-term perspective and to create a stable investment environment. This approach is likely to appeal to long-term investors, enhancing the quality of investments. Negative Perspective:

👮Investigation & Misleading Information🎯 EU Commission accuses Irish company Kingspan 🇮🇪 of providing incorrect, incomplete and misleading information during its investigation into the company's inteded acquisition of slovenian rival Trimo 🇸🇮 The contemplated transaction worried the 🇪🇺, which initiated a phase II investigation. During such investigation Kingspan, according to the Commission, didn't play with open cards and misled the investigatory team. If found guilty, Kingspan would face significant fines up to 1 % of its annual worldwide turnover💸 Notably, the Commission has gone ahead with the matter despite the transaction being abandonded...👮💸 I've seen first hand merging companies trying to be "too creative" in merger filing procedures, thinking it would be possible to thwart off case handlers. However, such tactics (apart from being illegal) will seldom be successful as Competition Authorities are generally well-prepared and open for discussions on merits if presented with facts that coincide with their own initial view - thereby opening up for constructive meetings and scenarios building up to a decision that respects and works for both "sides". I mean, it's not a coincidence that few mergers are blocked... 🛑✋🏻 #merger #fines #competition https://lnkd.in/dzxMnA_4

Despite recent contractions in manufacturing activity, the industrial M&A market is poised for a potential upswing. Factors such as the normalization of supply chains, easing of freight rates, and significant government investments through the Inflation Reduction Act and CHIPS Act are creating favorable conditions for dealmaking. As the market stabilizes, buyers and sellers alike should be prepared for increased activity, particularly in the middle market where regulatory hurdles may be less pronounced. https://lnkd.in/eDnmXutu #growthstage #REAG #mergers #business #acquisitions #lowermiddlemarket #investmentbank
