<li>ACS is simplifying  its corporate structure: it has acquired the minorities in CIMIC, increased its stake in Hochtief and is buyer for any shares in Hochtief owned by Atlantia.</li>

ACS is simplifying  its corporate structure: it has acquired the minorities in CIMIC, increased its stake in Hochtief and is buyer for any shares in Hochtief owned by Atlantia.
Thiess is now acquiring MACA and could also be a candidate for acquisition by the parent.
I see value in ACS. Further rationalisation in the holding structure would be a catalyst for the reduction of the discount.

<li>Thiess is launching an agreed offer to acquire 100% of <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/maca-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:11390:1" rel="noopener">MACA Ltd (MLD AU)</a> at AUD 1.025/share, in cash, cum dividend, a 28% premium, 2.8x EV/Fwd EBITDA. Minimum acceptance condition is 90%.</li>
<li>Thiess is gaining scale with the acquisition of MACA. I believe that in the future ACS/Hochtief/CIMIC will seek to acquire the whole of Thiess.</li>
<li>Gross spread (as of 29 July) is 2.43%, for a deal with high chances to complete. I would be long at this price.</li>
