Tesserent (TNT AU): Thales’s A$0.13 Offer

By Arun George

  • Tesserent Ltd (TNT AU) has entered into a scheme implementation deed with Thales SA (HO FP) at A$0.13 per share, a juicy 165.3% premium to the undisturbed price (9 June).
  • The offer is subject to several conditions such as shareholder, FIRB and OIO approval. FIRB approval is likely due to Australia and France being part of the Nine Eyes alliance.
  • Despite the substantial premium, shareholders’ acceptance of the offer could be a risk due to their higher buy-in prices. At the last close, the gross spread is 8.3%.
