Nearmap Ltd (NEA AU)’s litigation and trading update resulted in the spread to Thoma Bravo’s A$2.10 offer widening to 7.7%. The scheme meeting is on 25 November.
There is no chance that the MAC clause will be triggered due to the downbeat trading update. However, the update is softening the stance of some of the retail dissenters.
There is a small chance of a bump as peers have re-rated. Nevertheless, the low spread prior to the update suggested that the risk of the NO vote was minimal.


Nearmap (NEA AU)’s Update Results in an Unwarranted Increase in the Spread

<ul>
<li>The IE considers Thoma Bravo’s A$2.10 offer fair and reasonable as it is within its valuation range of A$1.94 to A$2.45 per share (but the below the midpoint of A$2.20). </li>
<li>The spread has risen due to suggestions that some investors aim to block the scheme. These investors aim for a bump but will likely settle for the offer if unsuccessful. </li>
