"Over-indebtedness", "debt structure", "hidden reserves"...
Thanks. This was a very good informative summary.
Well to highlight aspects that struck a cord with me : There are some 'hidden treasures' ito smaller holdings which could perhaps be sold to ease the debt burden held by the creditors?
and what about the re- evaluation of 'historic assets' that might offset part of the large indebtedness?
Also the holding company will have, after GS:
MF 50%
Pepkor 50%
Pepco 78.9 %
That is good enough for me and even if Steinhoff sells a stake in Pepco to ease the debt burden, I still believe this share price will improve with time
The expansion of Pepkor into Brazil also looks an exiting move and I am sure if this works, expansion will proceed into other S/American countries as well.
Steinhoff is not a 'controlled liquidation' as far as I am concerned
and
I will eat my hat if this share ever goes to R2 again and for that reason I will not be selling any Steinhoff shares soon. I will be holding on to the shares I acquired from between 97c and 1.24 per share during those earlier days of doom and gloom.
The company is just over indebted and I am sure management will make a plan to address it. Also remember, it was once alluded to LdP's purpose was to get the GS settlement accepted by the claimants and that he will likely step down and be replaced by a CEO that can really drive and expand the business.
