<li>Dye &amp; Durham/DND is a persistent bidder and returned with a A$1.27 billion bid for <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/link-administration-holdings-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:970:1" rel="noopener">Link Administration (LNK AU)</a>’s CM and BCM businesses. The Board will update next week. </li>
<li>The latest offer is attractive but curiously, contradicts DND’s previous comments that the FCA would make it challenging to distribute any part sale proceeds.</li>
<li>Despite the overhang from the FCA fine, DND’s ongoing persistence and the Board’s potential in-specie distribution of the <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/pexa-group-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:34716:1" rel="noopener">PEXA Group (PXA AU)</a> stake highlight the underlying value.</li>

Dye &amp; Durham/DND is a persistent bidder and returned with a A$1.27 billion bid for Link Administration (LNK AU)’s CM and BCM businesses. The Board will update next week. 
The latest offer is attractive but curiously, contradicts DND’s previous comments that the FCA would make it challenging to distribute any part sale proceeds.
Despite the overhang from the FCA fine, DND’s ongoing persistence and the Board’s potential in-specie distribution of the PEXA Group (PXA AU) stake highlight the underlying value.


Link’s Ongoing Overtures from DND Underscore Its Value

<ul>
<li>Dye &amp; Durham/DND has proposed a revised <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/link-administration-holdings-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:970:1" rel="noopener">Link Administration (LNK AU)</a> offer to address any FCA redress payments. Around A$1.00 per share will hang on the outcome of the FCA investigation.</li>
<li>The Link Board has said it cannot recommend the revised proposal based on value, structure and alternatives available to Link. We agree with the Board’s view.</li>
<li>The scheme is all but dead. The shares are now a back-end play and remain attractive for value investors.</li>
</ul>


Dye &amp; Durham/DND has proposed a revised Link Administration (LNK AU) offer to address any FCA redress payments. Around A$1.00 per share will hang on the outcome of the FCA investigation.
The Link Board has said it cannot recommend the revised proposal based on value, structure and alternatives available to Link. We agree with the Board’s view.
The scheme is all but dead. The shares are now a back-end play and remain attractive for value investors.


Link’s On Again-Off Again Scheme Is All but Off

<ul>
<li>FCA approval, a condition precedent, will be granted subject to a condition that <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/link-administration-holdings-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:970:1" rel="noopener">Link Administration (LNK AU)</a> makes funds available to cover any redress payments related to the Woodford matters.</li>
<li>The FCA’s maximum redress payment is £306 million. The timeline and amount of the final FCA fine remain unknown. Dye&amp;Durham/DND and Link will struggle to find a resolution.</li>
<li>With a 30 September end date, the deal is teetering on collapse. The share price may prove attractive for long-term value investors as it reflects a sizeable FCA fine.</li>
