Grifols' founding families and Brookfield ask the Board for the necessary information to evaluate an offer for 100% of Grifols SA (GRF SM). The CNMV has halted trading in the shares.
Grifols is worth €5.5 billion, after plummeting 39% in 2024. The deal smacks of desperation from the founding families, worried not to lose control of the company to debt holders. 
There should be a minimum premium to guarantee offer success, at least 15% to current share price (maybe even 30%). B shares are protected in case of takeover.

<li>On June 24, a share purchase agreement was signed between Brookfield and several shareholders, to acquire 53.12% of Neoen's outstanding shares at €39.85/share. Brookfield has also received irrevocables for 4.36%.</li>
<li>The offer price is generous and this looks a done deal. Spread 5.19%/7.29% (gross/annualised) seems interesting in spite of the longer approval process in energy deals.</li>
<li>The convertible NEOEN 2.875 14-SEP-2027 has a balanced profile. It is trading at (mid) 100.75 (vs. €37.82), vs. a fair price estimate of 113.773.</li>
