Today, Keppel Corp (KEP SP) and Sembcorp Marine (SMM SP) made an announcement of revised structure and revised terms.
Under revised terms, Sembcorp will issue fewer shares to Keppel, and it will be a takeover rather than Scheme of Arrangement. Keppel will deliver more shares to shareholders, keeping less. 
Just like the first announcement, there is a little here for everyone. Keppel doesn't do a great job of selling it but it is still win-win. 


Keppel & Sembcorp Marine Revise Transaction, Improve Terms to SMM

<ul>
<li>The Keppel O&amp;M / SMM Combination and Keppel Rig Asset Restructure were announced today and the arithmetic is both tough and interesting. There's a little magic here.</li>
<li>KEP shareholders receive SMM shares worth ~1/3 of today's share price, and the rest is currently valued at well under Net Tangible Assets post-Restructuring/Transaction.</li>
<li>That suggests Keppel has upside, but one must think carefully about the exposures.</li>

The Keppel O&amp;M / SMM Combination and Keppel Rig Asset Restructure were announced today and the arithmetic is both tough and interesting. There's a little magic here.
KEP shareholders receive SMM shares worth ~1/3 of today's share price, and the rest is currently valued at well under Net Tangible Assets post-Restructuring/Transaction.
That suggests Keppel has upside, but one must think carefully about the exposures.

<li>Keppel Corp and Sembcorp Marine have announced the O&amp;M business combination and it is a little more interesting than expected. It is a Very Big Desirable Order Book.</li>

<li>The light at the end of the tunnel used to be far away, and one was never sure if it wasn't an oncoming train. It's closer and clearer now.</li>

Keppel Corp and Sembcorp Marine have announced the O&amp;M business combination and it is a little more interesting than expected. It is a Very Big Desirable Order Book.
Separately, there is the potential for more index inclusion flow based on the conclusion of the combination in Q4.
The light at the end of the tunnel used to be far away, and one was never sure if it wasn't an oncoming train. It's closer and clearer now.

Ramsay Health Care (RHC AU) announced an unsolicited, non-binding Offer from KKR (and HISTA), at A$88.00/share, a 36.7% premium to last close, however, earnings have been left bedridden by the pandemic.
