Gresham "Group 150" - September 2011

SEPTEMBER 2011

1

ASX RESOURCES - GROUP 150We are pleased to present the September edition (in English!!) of ‘Gresham Group 150’, a ranking of the top 150 ASX listed resources companies (excluding oil and gas), by market capitalisation. The continuing global uncertainty ensured the returns for August followed the pattern of the past six months. August recorded a decline in the value of the Gresham Group 150, with the cumulative market value at the end of the month being $510 billion, down 5.3%. This is equivalent to the value of the Gresham Group 150 approximately 12 months ago. Entry into the Group 150 was $111.2 million, down from $119 million last month. The gold companies appear to be the main beneficiaries of the volatile markets conditions, but even their solid performances don’t appear to have kept pace with the escalating gold price. The ASX/S&P 200 Resources Index decreased 5.2% for the month, while both the ASX All Ordinaries and ASX/S&P 200 Index both decreased 2.9%. While the Australian economy is partially cushioned by the commodity influence, volatility in the global economy is likely to remain high until positive steps are undertaken by a number of global economies to implement a lasting solution. Some commentators are suggesting the global stock and bond markets are reminiscent of the financial crisis of late 2008, and with yields on Greek 2-year government bonds pushing closer to 50% by the day, this is understandable. Subject to the circumstance, we all talk about a “30% takeover premium” being required in a control transaction. In this edition we provide the results of our study of takeover premiums offered in the past 6 years. The 2011YTD average premium for announced transactions in the resources sector has been 33%. This has come down from levels witnessed in 2009 and 2010 which were 37% and 40% respectively. The analysis also supports the view that premiums paid in cash transactions are higher given the target shareholders exit the company and don’t receive the opportunity to participate in the enlarged entity. So far in 2011, the average scrip premium offered has been 29% versus cash premiums averaging 36%. It appears the old adage “that if you say it enough, it must be true” holds, when the takeover premium of “around 30%” is offered.

resources secTor Takeover premiums - pasT 6 years

Source: Capital IQ

Corporate finance theory argues that shares traded on public exchanges (ie ASX) are usually for minority interests and the resultant passive shareholding provides limited influence over the company’s decision making process, other than directing questions at directors during the AGM.

The argument is extended that in a takeover scenario, the acquirer is seeking 100% control to influence the business and operations of the target and for that right the acquirer should pay a premium. Subject to the circumstance, industry participants all talk about a “30% takeover premium” being required to be offered to target shareholders in a control transaction.

We have undertaken a review of takeover premiums offered since 2005, involving announced merger and acquisition transactions with a value greater than $10 million in the mining and metals industry.

The average premium offered for transactions announced so far in 2011 has been 33% to the closing price on the day prior to announcement. This average has come down from levels recorded in 2009 and 2010 which were 37% and 40% respectively, to levels consistently witnessed in 2005 through 2007.

The analysis also supports the view that premiums paid for takeovers involving cash as consideration are higher given the target shareholders exit the company and don’t receive the opportunity to participate in the enlarged entity.

In each of the years analysed, the average premium offered to shareholders involving cash consideration has been above transactions offering scrip consideration. To date in 2011, the average scrip premium offered has been 29% versus cash premiums averaging 36% to the closing price on the day prior to announcement .

It appears the old adage “that if you say it enough, it must be true” holds, when the takeover premium of “around 30%” is offered.
