Tesserent (TNT AU)’s Offer From Thales
- Cybersecurity firm Tesserent Ltd (TNT AU) has announced it has entered into a Scheme with France’s Thales SA (HO FP).
- Thales is offering A$0.13/share, a whopping 165% premium to last close. Although, TNT is down 87% from its January 2021 high.
- The Offer is conditional on TNT shareholder approval and FIRB/OIO approvals. Those regulatory approvals will not be straightforward.
Tesserent (TNT AU): Thales’s A$0.13 Offer
- 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%.
