UPDATES Icahn Stock Purchase Moreover Lionsgate
But this would make corporate raider and activist shareholder Icahn one of the largest individual shareholders in the study of film and television (only Mark Steinberg Rachevsky and assert as much or more management), which Lionsgate management has been moving heaven and earth to stop. The purchase price will be USD $ 6.00 per share in cash. “Lionsgate said it would review its proposal. Breaking news! But, to date, Lionsgate will not allow the Barbarians at the Gate are within the company and take from 3 to 4 people on board that Icahn has been seekingBecause Icahn would replace the moguls at Lionsgate, and more than likely hand over the reins of the company to his son. Now the mini-major has confirmed it has received “an offer unsolicited takeover by Carl Icahn to acquire up to 13,164,420 ordinary shares of Lionsgate, which together with shares it already owns, which constitute approximately 29.9% of ordinary shares of Lionsgate. UPDATE AND CHANGE: I’ve been reporting this month that Carl Icahn buying shares accelerated Lionsgate again.
Some financial sources told me at the time that Icahn might be buying these shares Lionsgate because stocks are so cheap now in the low $ 5 years – it is simply an average of at cost. (Lionsgate lenders led by JP Morgan Chase, insisted amending the company 340 million U.S. dollars of credit and the addition of the alliance by default.Last week, Icahn raised its stake in Lionsgate to 18.7%, ie 22,107,571 shares -. basis that (Remember, Icahn originally bought millions of shares when the stock was trading between $ 10 – 11. $) and is still the case that if you own more than 20% of the shares of Lionsgate, a bank shooting default.
If an event of default or acceleration occurs, there will be a condition that allows the Group Icahn to withdraw the offer. But it is clear that Icahn will not only keep their shares, but also believes it can eliminate 20% barrier. However, we understand that any such event of default could be avoided through a waiver by the lenders in the credit line more or Lions Gate prepaid or removing the line senior credit.In its own statement on the takeover, Icahn said, “Lionsgate has stated that its revolving credit line provides superior that a change of control, which includes a person or group acquiring ownership or control of more than 20 % of shares outstanding, will be an event of default that permits lenders to accelerate the maturity of loans made under it.
aggressive move today Icahn seeks not only to Lionsgate on the defensive, but still tie the hands on study of acquisitions. But, among other customary conditions, Icahn’s offer was “the condition that Lionsgate does not enter into any transaction outside the ordinary course of business (including the acquisition of assets of over $ 100 million, and any issuance of securities in the exercise of currently outstanding options). Lionsgate has been mentioned as a bidder for MGM and Miramax libraries. “The purchase of any assets may make sense for the management of LGF (they become big players in Hollywood), but such an acquisition would add tremendous debt to the company. “They are sending a strong message in his bid not want to buy LGF Miramax and MGM,” a source of film financing emailed me. And if he shares a seller, then it would dilute the participation of Icahn.
But when investors realized that the offer was really all this, he pulled back – and Lionsgate material only rose 25 cents todayIt is also important to note that Icahn does not have to buy another 13 million shares. In fact, Lionsgate’s stock price rose nearly 8% today after the announcement. So there is no problem for him, and instead of a lot of head – like the fact that the share price may increase now. You can stop at any time.
(In my opinion, is not offering enough of a premium.) But it’s damn interestingBid today, too, may or may not go anywhere. Icahn had the opportunity to wage a costly proxy fight for Lionsgate before the annual meeting last September, but retracted after the studio hired to manage a crisis team to defend him. He tried to buy the debt of Lionsgate, but had little success.
