EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
- The IFA supported the demerger by stating that “in the absence of a fully priced takeover offer from a third party, the demerger is the most attractive course of action.”
- IFA concedes that “it is not possible to form a definitive view” if the demerger will generate higher shareholder returns. The report is light on qualitative analysis.
- Mike Cannon-Brookes continues to gain retail support for a NO vote at AGL Energy Ltd (AGL AU)'s 15 June scheme meeting. Our SoTP points to upside absent a demerger.
