Cash offer from Rejlers at SEK 10.75
Announce Q4 numbers early
Acceptance period 23 February to 3 April


Bid represent 34% premium to previous close

Rejlers announced on 20 February a cash bid for Eurocon of SEK 10.75 per share, valuing the company at SEK 469m or an EV of SEK 461m. It represents a premium towards previous close of 34% and an EV/EBITA valuation of 11.2x on 2022 numbers. It is slightly less than what Ratos bought Semcon for (12.5x EV/EBITA), but Semcon was more than 5x in size and the deal was also struck when investor sentiment was a bit better than now. 46% of Eurocon"s current shareholders have obliged to accept the bid on certain conditions and the acceptance period will begin 23 February and end 3 of April. Eurocon"s shareholder base is rather fragmented with only Nordea among institutional investors (who also owns shares in Rejlers), which we think suggests that the bid will go through.
