Hi Zanme you are correct my prediction is at end the holding will look like this:
Pepkor: 30 %, MF: 30%, Greenlit Brands after IPO: 30% and PEPCO: 55% with a rights issue at end to pay about Eur 2.5 bil left over debt.
So be ready for this!!!
Ho I love green beer!!!
So rights issues are not done for free. Are you saying a 2.5 billion Euro rights issue? R40 billion rights issue?
That is 5 times the market capitalisation of the company.
After the handout of the shares?
If that happens Steinhoff will drop a lot from current levels.
So current Market cap is R8 billion. To follow rights shareholders must put in R40 billion.
Assets that they will have will be worth R80 billion.
What will the debt be? If there is no group debt we looking at less than 100 percent increase in value for shareholders?
Doesn't sound great to me considering the money that you still have to put in.
Depending on the rights price. But if it is done at 90 cents the market cap of the company will be around R4 billion before the rights.So at that price if you don't follow the rights. Current shareholders will hold 10 percent in the group.
Which will equal to R8 billion therefore zero uplift for shareholders.
Why would there be a need for a rights issue.
If Pepkor could pay down debt of R6 billion in one year. Pepco could do the same. So an obvious thing that should be done before the handouts are done move all the debt into in the operating companies. Otherwise current shareholders will see very little uplift unless you follow the rights in which case you might see a maximum 100 percent increase. To follow the rights on that scale if you have R100k. You have to be ready to put down R800k. Its big numbers.
