République Française/​EDF: 53% Premium

By Jesus Rodriguez Aguilar

  • The listing of EDF’s shares is resumed with the announcement of a minorities buyout offer at €12/share, a 53% premium to the undisturbed share price.
  • It is a generous offer that also aims to avoid the outcry of EDF’s employees (c. 1% stake). Interloper risk is nil. Delisting is expected by the end of October.
  • Gross spread is 2.13% which could lead to an interesting c. 8% estimated annual return if settlement takes place by the end of October. Long and tender.
