Event-Driven

Another activist letter: Bluebell Capital Partners (Bluebell) published an open letter to GSK last week (22nd September 2021). In it, Bluebell effectively echoed the stance taken by Elliott, with a stronger view towards Dame Emma Walmsley and her potential role as the New GSK CEO. Whilst we see the merit in this, as we later discuss, the overall situation is not as clear cut. Why more may follow: GSK has been silent and failed to release information in a timely manner and as promised. The inertness by GSK is reflected in the share price performance since 23rd June 2021. Shareholders need to see tangible evidence that matters are being dealt with. We outline why we believe this is likely in the coming quarter, which should allow for the value discount to be further illuminated.Event-driven value play: We believe that once the market focuses on the sum of the parts of “New GSK” and “Consumer Healthcare” and understands who is to lead the next era of GSK, then the gap to our fair value target should begin to close.

<ul>
<li>It is three weeks since Elliott’s 1st of July 2021 public letter to GSK and a month on from the 23rd of June briefing on the “New GSK”. The share price remains largely static and in line with the FTSE all-share index. </li>
<li>The Second Quarter results are due to be released on the 28th of July 2021 which should allow GSK another opportunity to address the issues raised as a result of Elliott’s campaign and potentially placate the activists and in particular their concerns around GSK’s de-merger plans.</li>
<li>We examine the state of play for GSK and Elliott and discuss several key questions. <ul>
<li>Is this could be the Calm before the storm?  </li>
<li>What are the core areas of the Elliott campaign?</li>
<li>What does GSK's report card look like, post-Elliott's public letter?</li>
<li>Is the announcement of the Consumer Healthcare CEO the right move?</li>
<li>What questions should be asked by investors?</li>
<li>What should we expect next?</li>
