Posted at 10/5/2024 07:54 by alotto You won't get any more shares in IP regardless of what you pay, that's true.However IP and SMDS share price should reflect a common valuation of the merged entity. If you want a stake in the merged company you should buy SMDS rather than IP. That's because SMDS is cheaper. The merger will eventually "equalise" the valuations. Where that valuation will sit is yet to be seen. Either SMDS is undervalued and IP fairly priced or vice versa. It may well be both companies could be overvalued, or both undervalued! But at the moment there is a upward force on SMDS and a downward force on IP, simply based on valuation, assuming the merger will go ahead. Of course that ignores the potential of a no deal in the event IP receives and accepts a cash offer. That is why IP has a higher valuation. |
Posted at 09/5/2024 23:36 by jeffian It doesn't matter what you pay for SMDS, you won't get any more or less shares in IP, so why bid it up? There must be a raft of sellers who want cash rather than IP paper and there's not much of a case for buyers joining the party at this stage. I guess most of us are already holders of SMDS rather than new buyers attracted by the supposed mark-up. |
Posted at 09/5/2024 19:51 by alotto Jeff the market won't pay 400p for SMDS but it pays almost $40 for IP with the prospect of a merger. So why not to pay 400p for SMDS? In my view the only reason is the concern the merger may not materialize |
Posted at 08/5/2024 07:56 by moorsie2 Please note IPs word " will come out of a cyclical bottom"So they view this as opportunistic and will fight against it. SMDS deal is nailed on and I think smds holders will benefit to hold IP shares till at least this time next year |
Posted at 27/3/2024 10:22 by peart IP offer makes the dividend the same with a higher base price - so a lower dividend yield for the combined group, but net the same for DS Smith shareholders as at today. |
Posted at 15/3/2024 16:06 by taster Expanding a bit on m-rev, with currently 441.41m Mondi in issue, Mondi would issue an additional 46/54 * 441.41m so approx 376.02m Mondi to give to current SMDS shareholders in return for the SMDS stock. With 1377.4m SMDS issued, this means 376.02/1377.4, approx 0.273 Mondi per SMDS share...with Mondi price they used at announcement of 1381 the offer would be equivalent to 377....so as m-rev says maybe they rounded for the announcement or I wonder if there is something on the cap table which slightly alters the shares in issue should a transaction take place....anyway for now between friends, the theoretical price of SMDS = Mondi price * 0.273 and the difference between this and the actual SMDS price reflects the risks of the deal not closing etc. |
Posted at 11/3/2024 17:19 by alotto Thanks for your inputs Tetleys and MCunliffe.In my calculation I would not take into consideration the current share price and the number of the shares in issue in the merged company (as this can be assigned arbitrarily). The new company may have 1 Billion shares or 200m shares, who knows! Lets assume for simplicity the merged company will have 1 billion shares in issue. 460M of these new shares will belong to the current SMDS shareholders, the 460M shares will need to be distributed among the 1.38B shares in issue for SMDS. This will equate to about 0.33 new shares for each of the existing SMDS share. Similarly for MNDI this figure will be 1.27. Making the figures to integer numbers: if you hold 11 shares in SMDS you will get 1 in the merged company, if you have 3 shares in MNDI you will get 1 in the merged company. |
Posted at 11/3/2024 11:27 by tetleys dad A newbie to this investing lark so I hope I’ve done this correctly!There are ~ 1,818m shares combined for SMDS & MONDI. If these are split 46:54 in the new entity then 836m are SMDS and 982 Mondi. Dividing these proportions by the current split of shares (1,377m and 441m) gives the proportions 0.607 and 2.225. Divide these proportions by the lowest (0.607) gives a ratio of 1:3.663 which approximates to 4 SMDS shares to 15 (14.663) MNDI. If you gross these figures up then you get 272.98 SMDS shares and 1,000 for MNDI. Happy to be corrected! |
Posted at 11/3/2024 08:57 by meanreverter There are 441,412,530 Mondi and 1,377,451,807 SMDS shares in issue. If the 46:54 ratio is accurate, then SMDS shareholders will get 273 Mondi shares per 1000 SMDS shares held. If the calculation is based on the Mondi reference share price of 1381p and corresponding claimed 373p valuation of SMDS by the offer, then SMDS shareholders would get a bit less: namely 270 Mondi per 1000 SMDS.Traditionally, share-swap offers are not presented in such decimal form but rather as simple fractions. Thus, we might expect a 3-for-11 (0.2727...) offer, based on the 46:54 ratio. The 373p calculation doesn't match any simple fraction closely. The nearest I can find is the slightly awkward 7 for 26 (0.2692...). |
Posted at 15/2/2024 13:08 by meanreverter Sun1950:Your guess looks about right to me. I don't think that SMDS holders would be happy with a deal resulting in a meaningfully lower dividend. Based on 2023 payouts, a 2-for-7 offer would cut the dividend per SMDS share by only a smidgeon: from 18p to 17.89p. As for my own modest holding in SMDS, I would refuse 1 for 4, think about 2 for 7, and accept 3 for 10. |
