Good post SWKme !
On 24 February 2025, Wood announced that it had received an approach from Dar Al-Handasah Consultants Shair and Partners Holdings Ltd ("Sidara") in relation to a possible cash offer for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of the Company.
Wood subsequently received a non-binding, CONDITIONAL PROPOSAL from Sidara related to a possible cash offer for the Company. Following this, Wood provided Sidara with access to due diligence information and entered into discussions with Sidara.
With the non-binding offer, the potential buyer submits a unilateral, non-binding offer to the seller, which in particular contains an initial purchase price indication.
In order to achieve these goals, a non-binding offer usually contains:
1. Purchase price indication, which should clearly distinguish between enterprise value and equity value
2. As far as possible, a reconciliation of the enterprise value on the basis of key company figures already communicated (equity bridge)
3. Timetable for the further process
4. Information requirements for the due diligence
IMV : The proposal will have give an indicative offer price, based on facts found during the DD. So its just a matter of Deloitte review and already to get to this stage, I believe the major II's have all agreed to let the Board take this through to DD. Chance of offer now 80% . Only after the due diligence process has been successfully completed will Sidara then submit a BINDING offer if they still wish to acquire the company.
