Tracking the outcomes of PAITREOs

2023: just 2


42. Treasury Wine Estates (TWE), Sept-Oct 2023: a 1-for-9.45 PAITREO at $10.80 to raise $825 million to fund $1.6 billion US Wine acquisition. Priced at a 10.7% discount to the previous close of $12.10. The $604 million million institutional component was 78% subscribed and the shortfall cleared at $11.50 raising around $141.5 million with 70c per share or about $8.6 million million going to the non-participants. There was 6 days of rights trading on the $221 million million retail offer from November 9 until November 16 and the retail offer was open for a healthy 15 days from November 8 until November 23. The retail offer finished heavily short with 15,800 shareholders or 18% of the total taking up 23% of the available shares or $50.3 million with the $170 million shortfall failing to clear in the bookbuild leaving under-writers Macquarie and UBS with 16 million shares, as was noted in this announcement. This was another win for the non-participating instos who received 70c each.

41. Carsales: March-April 2023 (CAR): a 1-for-14 PAITREO at $19.95 to raise $500 million to fund increased investment into Brazilian joint venture. Priced at a 10.8% discount to the previous close of $22.36. The $380 million institutional component was 96% subscribed and the shortfall cleared at $21.75, raising around $16.6 million with $1.80 per share or about $1.37 million going to the non-participants. There was a healthy 9 days of rights trading on the $120 million retail offer from March 13 until March 23 and the retail offer was open for a healthy 15 days from March 15 until March 30. Carsales disclosed that there was $1.5m worth of rights trading through a range between $1.345 and $2.35 with a VWAP of $1.71. In the end, 11,300 or 50.2% of the eligible 22,500 shareholders partially or fully took up their rights and 58% or $70 million worth of the $121 million in shares on offer were subscribed. This left a shortfall of 2.6 million rights to buy shares at $19.95 which were sold for $58.4 million when the retail bookbuild cleared at $22.45, generating $2.50 per right or $6.5 million for the 11,200 non-participants. The retail offer settled on April 11, trading of the new shares started on April 12 and non-participating retail were compensated on April 17, a 6 day turnaround. All up, a win for retail given that non-participating instos received $1.80 versus $2.50 for retail.

2022: Just 1

40. ANZ: July-August 2022 (ANZ): a 1-for-15 PAITREO at $18.90 to raise $3.5 billion to fund $4.9b Suncorp Bank acquisition. Priced at a 12.7% discount to the previous close of $21.64 with UBS and Macquarie sharing the $43m in under-writing fees based on a 1.25% cut. The $1.7 billion institutional component was 95% subscribed and the shortfall cleared at $21.65, raising around $93 million with $2.75 per share or about $12.2m going to the non-participants. There was 13 days of rights trading on the $1.8 billion retail offer from July 21 until August 8, which closes on August 15. ANZ disclosed that this generated $53 million in rights trading through a range between $2.43 and $4.10 with a VWAP of $3.75 on the 14.13 rights which were traded. In the end, 217,000 or 40% of the eligible 542,500 shareholders partially or fully took up their right and $1.15 billion of the $1.8 billion in shares on offer were subscribed. This left a shortfall of 36.4 million rights which were sold for $837 million when the bookbuild cleared at $23, generating $4.10 per right or $149.2 million for the 325,500 non-participants. The retail offer settled on August 23 but, bizarrely, ANZ initially wasn't proposing compensating retail non-participants until September 9, as can be seen in this letter sent to retail shareholders. In the end, the $4.10 compensation payment was made on September 1, which was still an excessive 9 days after ANZ received the $837 million in cash from the retail shortfall bookbuild. Still, this was comprehensive win for retail given that the non-participating instos only received $2.75, versus $4.10 for retail.

2021: 6

39. Aristocrat Leisure: October 2021 (ALL): Unveiled a 1-for-20.56 PAITREO at $41.85 to raise $1.3 billion and help fund the $5 billion acquisition of UK gaming technology company Playtech. The offer was priced at an 8.6% discount to the previous close of $45.79 and an 8.2% discount to the TERP of $45.61. The institutional component raised $895 million and was 92% subscribed with the small shortfall clearing at $47.10, an impressive $1.49 premium to the TERP which generated $5.25 in compensation for each renounced share. The $405 million retail offer closed on November 8 with retail rights trading running from October 21 to November 1. The range was $4.24 to $6.75 with the VWAP $5.52, which was better than the institutional compensation payment of $5.25. The retail component raised $317 million with excellent transparency disclosing 78% participation by value and 49% by number. The shortfall cleared at $46.60 in a $97.86 million auction of the 2.1 million lapsed rights, generating a $4.75 per share compensation payment to the 21,400 non-participating retail shareholders. Overall, a win for the instos which received 50c more at $5.25. Retail offer settled on Wednesday November 17 and compensation payment was made on Friday, November 19.

38. Transurban: September 2021 (TCL): $3.97 billion 1-for-9 PAITREO at $13 to fund $11.1 billion West-Connex acquisition, plus a sweetheart $250m placement to Australian Super at $13.07 when the previous close was $14.18 and the TERP $14.06. The institutional component of the PAITREO raised $2.9 billion with a 93% take-up rate and a 90c payment to non-participants. The $1068 million retail component comprised 27% of the PAITREO and raised $697m from 59,000 participants equating to 65% of the shares on offer with excellent transparency on the rights trading which was worth $8m, ranged between 53c and $1.18 and delivered an average VWAP of 87c. For those who waited until the end, the compensation payment was only 30c after the $380 million shortfall auction of 28.6 million securities cleared at $13.30 against a previous close of $13.56, which just happened to be a two month low. The circa 74,000 non-participating retail shareholders shared in $8.58 million. A win for instos, particularly Australian Super, given that instos ended up contributing $3.522 billion or 83.5% of the $4.22 billion raised when they started out with 73% of the company before the transaction. A win for non-participating instos as well which received 90c compo vs 30c for retail, ending a run of 3 wins for retail in terms of which class received more compensation in the shortfall bookbuild. The retail offer settled on October 15 and compensation payments to non-participating retail shareholders were made on Wednesday, October 20, just 3 business days later.

37. Pointsbet: August 2021 (PBH): $400 million capital raising which started with a $215 million placement at $10, an 11.4% discount to the previous close of $11.29. Then there was a $185 million 1-for-9 PAITREO at the chunky discount of $8. However, the placement was completed on July 30 whereas the $81 million accelerated institutional component of the PAITREO completed on Tuesday, August 3, when these are normally done simultaneously with a placement. Institutional participation was only 78% and the shortfall cleared at the institutional price of $10, raising $22.27 million in the bookbuild with 25% of that or some $2 a share being returned to non-participating shareholders. The $104 million retail component came with a 78 page offer document and closed on August 20, but it is not clear how much of that comprises founder/director entitlements. The retail shortfall cleared at $10.30 so non participants received $2.30, a 30c premium to the institutional shortfall. A win for retail.

36. Costa Group: July 2021 (CGC): $190 million 1-for-6.33 PAITREO at $3 to fund a $200 million acquisition in Queensland. The $114 million institutional component was 90% supported and the shortfall cleared at $3.30, generating 30c in compensation for non-participants. Retails rights trading ran from June 28 until July 12 and the retail offer was open from July 2 until July 19 to avoid the risk of a Bank of Queensland-style stuff with shareholders not receiving the snail mail offer in time. The $76 million retail offer had a 66% take up and ended up finishing 8.5 million shares or $25.5 million short. The retail shortfall cleared at $3.32, generating 32c in compensation for non-participants so a win for retail.

35. Carsales: May 2021 (CAR): $600 million 1-for-7 PAITREO at $17 a share to fund a US acquisition. The institutional component raised $428 million with the shortfall clearing at $18 a share, generating a $1 compensation payment although there was no precise disclosure on the size of the shortfall with the company quoting a figure of 83% participation excluding two individuals and 99% when measuring just Australian institutions. The $172 million retail offer had rights trading from May 17 until May 26. The offer was open for 14 days from May 19 until June 2. Outcome announcement disclosed that 8,300 of the 18,500 eligible shareholders participated to the tune of 67% or $115 million. The retail shortfall cleared at $18.60, a 30c discount to the previous close of $18.90 so a win for retail which received $1.60 in compensation on June 17 compared with $1 for the instos. The retail offer settled on June 10, so compensation took a week.

34. Computershare: April 2021 (CPU): $835 million 1-for-8.8 PAITREO raising to fund a US acquisition. Was priced at $13.55, a 9.6% discount to the previous close of $14.99. Retail investors had 19 days to consider the 60 page offer document and retail rights trading ran from March 29 until 12 April. The institutional component raised $500 million with a 94% take up rate and the 6% shortfall worth $30 million cleared at $15.05, generating a $1.50 premium payment to non-participants. The $150 million retail shortfall cleared at $14.55, generating a $1 per share premium payment for the 21,000 shareholders who did not participate, so a win for the instos if retail waited until the end. The VWAP for rights trading was $1.23 so it was better to exit on market.

2020 - three

33. Pointsbet: September 2020 (PBH): foreshadowed a $300 million raising on August 28 in conjunction with announcing its full year results and a major marketing deal with NBC, but this was then expanded to $353m. The stock duly soared from $7.50 to $14 on August 28 and then, after 3 days of trading, the $303 million capital raising was launched on September 2. It originally comprised a $150 million placement although this was up-sized to $200 million and priced at $11. The institutional component of the $153 million PAITREO, a 1-for-6.5 priced at $6.50, raised $70.5 million with a 55% take up rate. The shortfall of 4.88m shares cleared at $12.50, raising $61 million and returning a hefty $6 a share or $29.3 million to non-participants. Rights trading ran from September 9 until September 15 with a value $5.7 million and an average price of $6.48. Retail investors had 15 days to consider the 102 page offer document which opened on September 7 and closed on September 22. There was a very healthy 92% take-up of the $82.7 million retail offer as $76 million came through the door. The 1.05 million retail shortfall shares cleared at $10.60, delivering $4.10 in compensation to non-participants so a win for the instos.

32. Tabcorp, August-September 2020: $600 million 1-for-11 PAITREO at $3.25, an 11.4% discount to the previous close of $3.67. Rights trading for 8 days from August 24 until September 3. Under-written by UBS with a management fee of 0.4% and an under-writing fee of 1.3% for the institutional component and 1.5% for the retail component. There was a 97% participation rate in the $371 million institutional offer and the shortfall of 5 million shares cleared at $3.70, generating a 45c compensation payment for non-participants. The 170,000 retail shareholders were offered a chance to spend $231 million taking up their rights, an average spend of just $1,360 each. Only 35,000 or 20.6% did so, committing $102 million, which was a 44% take up in dollar terms. Retail investors had 13 days to consider the 68 page offer document which opened on August 28 and closed on September 10 and rights trading ran for 9 business days between August 24 and September 3. The shortfall cleared at just $3.31, generating a 6c compensation payment to non-participants. The VWAP during rights trading was 32c with 8.5 million traded or some 12% of the total. A win for the instos.

31. Sydney Airport, August-September 2020: $2 billion 1-for-5.15 PAITREO at $4.56, a 15.4% discount to the last trade of $5.39. A 3 day trading halt until Friday August 14 for the institutional offer. The retail component closes on September 2 and has rights trading from August 14 until August 26. There was a 93% take-up of the $1.3 billion institutional component and the $100 million shortfall cleared at $5.30 generating a 74c compensation payment for the non-participants. This was a premium to the TERP of $5.26 and the stock closed at $5.31 when trading resumed on August 14. The $695 million retail offer went to 110,000 retail shareholders and the take-up was 62% in dollar terms or $430 million. There was excellent participation disclosure with 53,000 shareholders applying and rights trading was worth $19 million, ranging between 55c and 89c with the rights VWAP finishing at 78c. Retail investors had 13 days to consider the 76 page offer document which opened on August 18 and closed on September 2. The 58.1 million shortfall shares cleared at $5.50, a 20c discount to the previous close, and this generated a 94c compensation payment to non-participants as institutions shelled out $320 million. A win for retail given the instos only received 74c and the best outcome for retail was exiting at the end rather than on market.

2019 - just one

After 30 deals it was 10 wins for retail 15 wins for instos and 5 draws

30. Costa Exchange, October-November 2019: $176 million 1-for-4 PAITREO at $2.20 launched when the stock last traded at $3.46. The $87 million institutional component was 88% subscribed and the shortfall cleared at $2.30, returning 10c to non-participants. The stock finished at $2.63 when trading resumed on October 30 so institutional investors who participated finished in a much better position. The $9 million retail offer finished $66m or 74% subscribed and the 10.8 million shortfall shares cleared at $2.50 on November 21. The 30c compensation payment to non-participating retail investors was 3 times the 10c payment to non-participating institutions, so a win for retail ending a run of 5 wins for the instos on the compensation stakes. A total of 3.8m rights were traded at an average price of 54c so the better option was to get out on market. Retail investors had 12 days to consider the 80 page offer document which opened on 6 November and closed on 18 November. Rights trading ran from October 30 until 11 November.

13 month gap

2018 - 4 in total

29. Nufarm, September 2018: $303 million 3-for 19 PAITREO at $5.85 launched when the stock was at $6.64. Quoted a 90% institutional take-up but this excluded largest shareholder Sumitomo which received 50c a share from the shortfall offer which cleared at $6.35. No transaction just a profit warning due to the drought. The insto offer raised $238 million but there was no precise disclosure of how much came from the shortfall offer. Institutional offers Separately announced $31 million commitment from retail investors but the 6.2 million retail shortfall shares finished short so no compensation for non participants. UBS and Macquarie shared in a 1.9% fee. Another win for non-participating instos, including Sumitomo which was diluted from 18.4% down to below 16%. It was asked to pony up $55.7 million for 9.53 million shares but instead received $4.76 million in compensation and means the institutional shortfall offer was actually offering 12.63 million shares at a take up price of $74 million but which cleared at $80.3 million including the 50c premium. Retail investors had 13 days to consider the 66 page offer document which opened on October 4 and closed on October 17. Right trading ran for 9 days from October 1-9.
No gap

28. Transurban. September 2018: $4.2b 10-for-57 PAITREO at $10.80 with the stock trading at $12.06 before it was launched. There was also a $600m placement at $10.85. The $3 billion institutional offer was 96% subscribed with the $120 million shortfall clearing at a $1 premium of $11.80. The $1.222 billion retail offer offered rights trading from September 5 until September 11 and traded between 40c and $1.01 with a VWAP of 55c. The retail offer was 67.56% subscribed as 53,800 investors bought $827m new shares. The shortfall of 36.7m shares cleared at $11, raising $403.7 million and giving about 47,000 non-participants a 20c compensation payment collectively worth $7.34 million. Was disappointing to see the share price crash from $11.48 to $11.13 in the 2 days before the retail auction and then bounce back to close at $11.24 on the day after, giving bidders in the auction a one day gain of $8.8 million. Another win for instos who got $1 versus 20c, but confirms that was better for retail to exit on market. In hindsight, Transurban should have pre-sold some of the retail shortfall. Retail investors had 11 days to consider the 100 page offer document which opened on September 7 and closed on September 18. Right trading only ran for 6 days from September 5 until September 11.

6 month gap.

27. APA. March 2018: $500m 1-for-17 at $7.70. The $288m institutional offer was 96% subscribed and the shortfall cleared at $8.00 giving 30c to non-participants. The $212 million retail offer was 47% subscribed with 19,800 of the 75,000 security holders buying new units worth $102 million, leaving a $110 million shortfall which cleared at $7.75, giving non-participating retail investors 15c so another win for institutions. No disclosure provided of rights trading, despite request. Retail investors had 12 days to consider the 58 page offer document which opened on March 2 and closed on March 15. Retail rights trading ran from February 26 until March 7.

1 month gap

26. Woodside: February-March 2018: $2.5 billion 1-for-9 at $27. The $1.57 billion institutional offer was 90% subscribed and the shortfall cleared at $29.60 giving $2.60 to non-participants. The $930 million retail offer retail offer opened on February 21 and rights trading ran from February 19 until February 28 with the shortfall auction scheduled for March 12. Given the market weakness in recent days, the rights have never traded above the $2.60 which non-participating institutions received so this looks like an offer where institutions will finish in front of retail. Indeed, retail shareholders only received $1.60 so a clear win for institutions. The VWAP for rights trading was $1.80 so shareholders did better exiting on market. Retail investors had 14 days to consider the 60 page offer document which opened on February 21 and closed on March 7. Rights trading ran from February 19-28.
