Tend to agree with all of the above. Just slightly weird no public support from jakes vs Artemis giving public support. But guess he has nothing to gain from public support so may as well wait to the final moment.
Interested to see how Artemis will spin this to their own shareholders - receiving no control premium above their entry price/ losing voting rights/ delayed exit. In return for the privilege of entering a fee carrying vehicle using blackbox NAVs calculated by the buyer. Which they could have bought on the open market in the first place but presumably chose not to. End up with less exposure to the same asset, worse shareholder rights, worse liquidity, and incurring transaction costs + ongoing fees. The joys of active management!

Just a comment for interested shareholders to look at p92 of the bond doc (p153 of the pdf). Where they amend the permitted disposals on the real estate properties (footnote pasted below). I think they mentioned at one of the AGMs that the company owns c300 residential properties (often flats above ground floor shop). They had commissioned a valuation report to assess the property portfolio and had pledged to share the findings with shareholders in due course. To me this footnote suggests they have received the (at least preliminary) results of that analysis. Hopefully the Board will share this with shareholders before any deal is endorsed. We have no idea how many properties could be sold, presumably a subset of the total. But illustratively £300k x 300 is is £90m or £1.80/share


"[15 This is now too low and has prevented Dignity from disposing of properties where they are relyiny on a rollover.
Additionally, it also causes problems with sales at auction where the guide price is much higher than
this and as such consent pre-auction is required. The proposal is therefore to update this threshold to
£300,000 on the basis that: (a) this would align with what would typically be average auction prices; and (b)
for most of the properties within the Securitisation Group it is anticipated that this number would now be
around or below £300,000]."

Anyone managed to decipher today's holdings RNSs from Valderrama? Yellow (SPC) Bidco Limited is the potential bidder, acting in concert with Sir Peter Wood, Castelnau and Phoenix. I can't work out what their current percentages in DTY are though. Nor have I seen a holdings RNS from John Jakes -- is he buying more, is he happy to accept the 525 bid? Still hoping that other shareholders will at least angle for a higher bid price, seems unlikely imo that Jakes will counter-offer.

EDIT: advfn seems to block my links
If you search "Dignity Finance" on the Euronext RIS publication database you will see all the announcements to the bondholders. There is one from 7 sep 2022 with the consent soliciation announcement. That announcement contains a link to the memo itself: hxxps://deals.is.kroll.com/dignity

However link appears to be broken (I accessed a couple of months ago). If you email the agent at Kroll they can probably provide. Always seemed a bit odd it wasnt easily accessible on the DTY website, tho perhaps that is customary with such docs

Agree. I have G. in at c. £5.30 and my "logic" was offer price got G out whole. Jakes purchases require some explanation. G wanted out and price of liquidity? Wonder where Artemis are.

Crematoria valuation depends on assumptions. Current EBITDA for whole estate late £40sm, but fully developed with a deduction for central costs c. £55m. 20x mentioned by both industry figures and, I believe, Channon used a similar number in past presentations. D bought FSL in a distressed sale in 2016 for c. 15x. However, 5% yield of FY21 may be be more now. I would say between 17 to 20x. There is some long term inflation protection.

Where do you find the consent solicitation memo?

Additionally, it seems poorly understood that the bondholder consent granted DTY the ability to sell the 7 crematoria assets to its own prepaid funerals trust. Releasing some cash to repay some debt, but without losing any control of the crematoria. This also gives the board full visibility over the timeline of the paydown (rather than the uncertainty of trying to find a third party buyer). Instead of explaining this properly to the market it seems they have chosen this opportunistic take private

Agree with comments above.

While I appreciate the logic of restructuring etc.. off the public market, and the option for current shareholders to participate either as part of private Valderema or listed Castelnau, Channon et al seem uncomfortably close to the business for an uncontested offer.

Sir Peter Wood is a major investor in Castelnau, so far from independent.

If Jakes is part of Valderma now or in future, some may question his 3% purchase on 17 Oct, when negotiations were seemingly quite advanced, and his 6% purchase in Dec, when there appears to be an agreed but unannounced offer significantly above the quoted share price.

I wonder if the private investors will get the same information as the bidders to inform their decision to accept (a) cash, (b) Valderma stock or (c) Castelnau shares. At the very least, they should be made aware of the results of the marketing of the crematoria during 2022 and the position with bond holders. Arguably, they should have access to the Valderma business plan.

While in these situations, you want to be measured on a public BB, this all seems a little cosy for all the reasons set out in this thread.
