Part 5: Cash and Implied Enterprise Value (EV) of each company
SLR has net asset of $421M on the balance sheet accounting for cash, working capital, RED shares and debt facilities including leases RED has net liability of $125M on the balance sheet for the equivalent items
To calculate the implied Enterprise Value of the Scheme I am using the pre merger share price of RED of $0.33.
Market Cap of RED is $1.148 bn adjust for cash/wc/debt above implies EV of $1,273 bn Market Cap of SLR based on 3.434 RED shares is $1.059 bn adjust for cash/wc/red shares/debt above implies EV of $638 bn
The deal implies that the Enterprise Value of RED is 2x SLR. Including the hedge position in the Adjustment then
RED has implied $1,449 bn EV SLR has implied $667 bn EV
Ratio is 2.17x
It would appear to me that RED is getting a seriously good deal but i don't see how this scheme will get through. Surely the large shareholders can do maths.
