<li>Schneider increased its cash offer by 4% to 3,225p/share, 47% premium, implied equity value of c.£9,863m and EV of £10,569m, 27.8x EV/Fwd EBIT. Schneider said the sweetened bid is final.</li>
<li>The deal seems dilutive for Schneider: it would mean an implied Fwd P/E of 31.4x vs. 18.7x for Schneider and should increase Schneider's debt leverage to 1.9x.</li>
<li>The increased offer had been anticipated as the spread had been positive since the offer announcement. Gross spread has now turned negative and is -1.91% (including dividend) as of 14 November. Long.</li>

STOXX Europe Quiddity Leaderboard Dec 22: Two Intra-Review Changes & Porsche Addition Likely In Nov

<ul>
<li>Davidson Kempner and others may seek an improved offer of up to 3,500p/share, 29.7x EV/Fwd EBIT, in line with Ideagen's acquisition multiples. Gross spread is +2.38%.</li>
<li>Assuming AVEVA can reach 2018a 34.7% EBITDA margins and increase revenues, the offer price would seem cheap. An increase to 3,300p seems feasible, £4,073 million, similar to the Bridge Facility.</li>
<li>Current net debt/EBITDA is 1.3x and EBIT/interest is 33.6x, so it could comfortably take on that additional debt. At 3,300p, proforma net debt/EBITDA would be 1.9x, before adding any synergies.</li>
