Golden Energy (GER SP): The Disconnect Between the Offer and Underlying Assets
- Golden Energy & Resources (GER SP)’s update notes that the Widjaja family’s offer remains conditional on Indonesian regulatory, Dian Swastatika Sentosa (DSSA IJ) shareholder and SGX circular approval.
- There are four issues – an unattractive distribution cash alternative, a decline in Golden Energy Mines (GEMS IJ) shares, unfavourable FX and an increase in Stanmore Coal (SMR AU) shares.
- The offer remains light. A “fair” delisting price is around S$0.40 (vs S$0.16 current delisting price) and would imply an all-cash offer of S$1.074, 19% above the last close.
