Genex (GNX AU): J-Power’s Indicative Offer

By David Blennerhassett

  • Back in July 2022, Aussie renewable energy player Genex (GNX AU) announced an A$0.23/share NBIO from Skip Enterprises and Stonepeak, subsequently bumped to A$0.25/share, and confirmatory due diligence provided.
  • Negotiations ceased in December that year.  As of today, Scott Farquhar’s Skip Enterprises continues to hold a 19.9% stake in Genex. 
  • This morning, Genex announced an A$0.275/share NBIO from Electric Power Development (9513 JP) (J-Power), by way of a Scheme. A concurrent off-market A$0.27/share is in place.

Genex Power (GNX AU): J-Power’s Dual-Track Non-Binding Proposal

By Arun George

  • Genex Power Ltd (GNX AU) has disclosed a non-binding scheme proposal from Electric Power Development C (9513 JP) at A$0.275, a 48.6% premium to the undisturbed price of A$0.185.
  • If the scheme fails, J-Power will launch an off-market takeover offer with a 50.1% minimum acceptance condition at A$0.270 per share. The dual-track bid is meant to counter Skip’s stake.
  • The Board has granted exclusive due diligence until 31 March. The offer is attractive, but the scheme’s completion hinges on Skip Capital’s acceptance.
