DND’s 3QFY22 last night continued to suggest DND’s commitment to complete the Link Administration Holdings (LNK AU) acquisition.
DND management's messaging in the call downplayed the MAC risk of a contract renewal but shifted incrementally more bearish on the ACCC review, in our view.
The risk-reward calculus is now incrementally more positive. The gross spread is wide at 24.4% with the “deal-break” valuation of A$4.18 (-5% below the last close) limiting downside risk.

Infomedia (IFM AU): TA Associates/Viburnum Funds Proposal

Assuming five months to complete, paying up to $1.60/share is around 15% annualised. But I think this may trade tighter to the indicative terms.
