  • ACS/Thiess/MACA: Generous Premium

ACS/Thiess/MACA: Generous Premium

By Jesus Rodriguez Aguilar

  • Thiess is launching an agreed offer to acquire 100% of MACA Ltd (MLD AU) at AUD 1.025/share, in cash, cum dividend, a 28% premium, 2.8x EV/Fwd EBITDA. Minimum acceptance condition is 90%.
  • Thiess is gaining scale with the acquisition of MACA. I believe that in the future ACS/Hochtief/CIMIC will seek to acquire the whole of Thiess.
  • Gross spread (as of 29 July) is 2.43%, for a deal with high chances to complete. I would be long at this price.
