The Board of THG (the "Board") notes the recent media speculation surrounding Myprotein and confirms that it received and rejected a wholly unsolicited, largely unfunded, highly conditional and non-binding proposal (the "Proposal") from Selkirk to acquire Myprotein.
The Proposal ascribed a headline value to Myprotein of £400m - £600m on a cash-free, debt-free basis. The majority of the consideration offered was in the form of newly issued Selkirk shares, and the remainder of the consideration would have been payable in cash from a new equity and debt issuance, which was largely unfunded and without appropriate detail on its source.
The Board considered that the Proposal fundamentally undervalued Myprotein and its prospects, and in addition carried significant execution complexity and risks, in particular the ability of Selkirk to raise sufficient funding. On this basis, the Proposal was unequivocally rejected by the Board. THG confirms that there has been no further engagement with Selkirk since the Proposal was rejecte
