M&A Rumour and Activity
The Australian market finished the week 1.13% higher with the S&P / ASX100 ending at 4665 points, with a broad-based recovery rally on Friday due to
strong gains on Wall Street and higher commodity prices, despite lingering uncertainty over the Greek debt crisis. The Australian dollar was 0.09%
lower for the week to end at US77.52 cents, propped up by bets that the US interest rate hike will occur later than anticipated and assurances from the
US Federal Reserve that the US interest rates will not be raised too quickly (comments which led to a weaker US dollar), despite increasing bets on
another interest rate cut from the Reserve Bank of Australia.
The Australian Financial Review reported that CarVal Investors, a fund manager with a focus in distressed debt, had struck a deal to buy a local
secured lender out of Pilbara-focused Viento Group through a voluntary administration process. The new investor will inject fresh equity and attempt to
keep Viento’s clients on board with a turnaround story. The ASX-listed Viento Group Limited (ASX:VIE) entered into voluntary administration in April
2015, in the wake of $14.5 million loss and the breach of banking covenants.
The AFR also said that many banks are becoming increasingly nervous in the sector, leading to opportunities for special situation/distressed debt funds
such as CarVal Investors to enter the mining services sector. Distressed debt funds are said to be watching US high yield debt in the likes of Barminco
Limited and Ausdrill Limited (ASX:ASL).
Shares of both Skilled Group Limited (ASX:SKE) and Programmed Maintenance Services Limited (ASX:PRG) had been placed into a trading halt
until 24 June 2015 pending the announcement of a potential transaction. While no details on the potential transaction were provided when the trading
halt was announced, SKE had recently entered into active discussions with PRG on a potential merger in May 2015.
Pacific Oilfield Pte. Ltd. agreed to acquire an additional 70% stake in Spindex Energy Services Pte. Ltd. from Spindex Industries Limited (SGX:564)
for SGD1.8 million ($1 million) on 12 June 2015. Spindex Energy Services Pte. Ltd. provides engineering solutions for the oilfield equipment and drilling
industries.
Zhaojin Mining Industry Co Ltd (SEHK:1818) won an auction to acquire 60% stake in Beijing Dongfang Yanjing Mining Engineering Design
Company Limited (“Beijing Dongfang”) from Shandong Zhaojin Group Co. Ltd. for RMB10.1 million ($2.11 million) in cash on 10 June 2015. Beijing
Dongfang provides engineering design and consultation, technology development and technology consultation.
