<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/insignia-financial-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:12349:1" rel="noopener">Insignia Financial (IFL AU)</a> disclosed a non-binding privatisation offer from CC Capital at A$4.30, a 7.5% premium to the rejected Bain non-binding proposal of A$4.00.</li>
<li>While the offer is attractive compared to historical trading ranges, it is light compared to peer and precedent transaction multiples. </li>

The presence of several substantial shareholders necessitates an attractive takeover premium. To facilitate better terms, the board should provide due diligence access. 


Insignia Financial (IFL AU): CC Capital’s Non-Binding Offer Could Spark a Bidding War

<ul>
<li>Last month, wealth manager <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/insignia-financial-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:12349:1" rel="noopener">Insignia Financial (IFL AU)</a>  <a href="https://announcements.asx.com.au/asxpdf/20241213/pdf/06clql94x0mq9g.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> - and subsequently <a href="https://announcements.asx.com.au/asxpdf/20241218/pdf/06csc82ywrpv6c.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rejected</a> - a A$4.00/share non-binding and indicative proposal from PE outfit Bain Capital.</li>
<li>The question was whether Bain returned to the well, in a space where <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/regal-partners-limited" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:29119:1" rel="noopener">Regal (RPL AU)</a> recently binned its <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/platinum-asset-management" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:914:1" rel="noopener">Platinum (PTM AU)</a> tie-in; and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/perpetual-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:599:1" rel="noopener">Perpetual (PPT AU)</a>'s carve-out has hit a snag. </li>
<li>Roughly two weeks after that Bain rejection, US-based asset investment manager CC Capital Partners has now tabled a A$4.30/share, in cash, non-binding Offer. That's probably enough for Insignia to engage. </li>
</ul>


Last month, wealth manager Insignia Financial (IFL AU)  announced - and subsequently rejected - a A$4.00/share non-binding and indicative proposal from PE outfit Bain Capital.
The question was whether Bain returned to the well, in a space where Regal (RPL AU) recently binned its Platinum (PTM AU) tie-in; and Perpetual (PPT AU)'s carve-out has hit a snag. 
Roughly two weeks after that Bain rejection, US-based asset investment manager CC Capital Partners has now tabled a A$4.30/share, in cash, non-binding Offer. That's probably enough for Insignia to engage. 


Insignia Financial (IFL AU): CC Capital Wades In With A $4.30/Share NBIO

<ul>
<li>After Tanarra Capital categorically refuted an Australian article alleging Tanarra was supportive of Bain's Offer, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/insignia-financial-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:12349:1" rel="noopener">Insignia Financial (IFL AU)</a>'s board's response was all-but rubber stamped. </li>
<li>Insignia reckons Bain's Offer does not represent fair value, and in the "context of a change of control transaction". </li>
<li>What now - does Bain bump? Tough call in a space where one, possible two deals, may lapse in short succession. </li>
