I Squared & TDR/Applus: Competing Offer at €9.75
- On 14 September, a “competing” acquisition offer for Applus has been made by Amber Equity, a vehicle of I Squared and TDR Capital, at €9.75/share, in cash, cum dividend.
- The offer represents 10.7x EV/Fwd NTM EBIT and a 2.6% increase over Apollo’s offer, which seems to signal Amber will not raise its offer by much more.
- I believe there will be an increased offer from Apollo, probably at least around €10/share (c. 2.6% increase). I’d be long Applus.
