  • Norwest Energy (NWE)’s Opportunistic Bid from Mineral Resources (MIN AU)

Norwest Energy (NWE)’s Opportunistic Bid from Mineral Resources (MIN AU)

By Arun George

  • Mineral Resources (MIN AU) has launched an all-scrip off-market takeover offer at 1 MIN share for every 1,367 Norwest Energy Nl (NWE AU) shares, a 33.3% premium to undisturbed price.
  • There is no minimum acceptance condition, and the offer is only subject to prescribed occurrences. The timing is opportunistic and motivated by recent Perth Basin consolidation activity. 
  • While the offer implies a premium to historical prices, the gross exchange ratio is unattractive. MIN’s key aim is privatisation, and a bump is likely required to achieve that goal.
