Very, very interesting...
Massive Capital Reduction for Pepkor Europe - They have reduced the share premium by E 394,788,665 (ZAR 6,066,253,525) and credited this to the Profit and Loss Reserve.
Ja, things are definitely on the move!
Personally, I would have waited and tried to tie up/settle the upside potential of the litigant shareholders while the zero equity is the legal position of Steinhoff, before restructuring this side of the bus
Yes interesting indeed, the big question will be how much cash can they generate from this? I think a range between 1 and 2 Billion for a 30% share is reasonable given the growth opportunities of pepkor europe.
I think we are in for a hell of a surprise at the investor day. I think they will have a detailed plan which they will present showing exactly how they want to reduce the debt levels.
So currently we have the following:
Around 10 billion debt less 2,3 Billion cash. Gives us around 7,8 net debt. Now taking in Uni trans value (I think around 300 Million), Then IPO of Pepkor europe lets say 1.5 billion. We have 6 billion net debt. Refinance these 6 Billion at terms around 3-4 % p.a. Steinhoff will be profitable in near future again.
Just my thoughts. Any other ideas?
