market seems to think they sold way to cheap, could've done better with a listing of pepkor

They still have to get shareholder approval. Who on earth would vote for a deal like this?

How is that for good management: Sell the cash cow; get your bonus and smile whilst shareholders are bleeding. Pls vote against this nonsense

this deal is absolute rubbish. Pepkor is valued by Brait at R11bn - they are selling for R15bn and roughly 2% stake in Steinhof (R12bn, more or less). So, R26bn in total. Firstly, Pepkor is ridiculously undervalued by Brait. They use a 8 times EBIDTA multiple. Compare this to mr Price - which works on a 22 times EBITDA multiple at the moment. Secondly, they are selling a controlling interest, in a quality operation, in exchange for an insignificant stake in a company they have no control over, whatsoever. The only reason I ever bought Brait, was because of Pepkor's potential and the pace at which they were expanding in Eastern European markets. Boo to this deal - but like I said, it still has to get shareholder approval. But Christo Wiese is not a fool, he wouldn't have launched this if he didn't have the political backing here

But this also seems to be a deal brokered by PSG without shareholder consensus. A little like the book build in SHF at R52 - the primary aim been to list on the DAX. I think these Stellenbosch blokes are just doing what the hell they like and enriching themselves. When will the JSE look into this?????

Good riddance to the SA Inc. asset. Move on to bigger, better - abroad.

JoosteÂ…..MoutonÂ…..WieseÂ…hhmmmÂ… I donÂ’t trust this deal! Wiese has a holding of more than 2.5 Billion in Steinhoff and a holding of more than 13 Billion in Brait. It is clearly not beneficial for him to undervalue Brait, UNLESS there is something we donÂ’t know aboutÂ…Â…??!! I bought Brait shares mainly for the PEP exposure. I guess I donÂ’t have any reason to stay invested in them and I definitely donÂ’t want any exposure to Steinhoff.

but Look at SHF now - well over R57 and climbing - my only fear is when do PSG and the Stellenbosch Mafia pull out the carpet AGAIN

Now almost half of Brait will be In cash, I am not paying a Premium for cash!! At current price Brait offers little value, I see Sp going much lower in order to justify the current PE. Don't forget that whatever Brait acquire will come at premium.

Totally agree - Why on Earth would BAT sell their Pep cash cow for SHF. I believe this is a massive why for BAT/PSG to get cash off shore through the SHF listing on the DAX

I am not complaining. Steinhoff is rocketing. Steinhoff's TNAV will increase by 77%.

I am complaining even though I own both - SHF is my preferred share going forward - see R150 in the future but why dont PSG/SHF/KAP etc not send a cautionary

well, as a holder of Steinhof, I am happy - but the 16% loss I have taken in Brait has not exactly been offset by the modest 5% gain in Steinhof. I still don't see why Brait would do this, honestly - it does not make any sense. Only benefit goes to Steinhof. Maybe they couldn't list Pep? (I mean, Brait only has a 37% stake in it - so not exactly controlling).

But that is my point - beside PEP owning 8 stores in Poland which no one knows abt how can that grow SHFs foot print in Europe, which is massive already - Pep as the biggest supplier in SA for mobile phones surely a link up with MTN/Vodacom a better idea.This is the PSG/KAP/CPI and all the others in cohorts. The JSE needs to investigate this nonsense

I love what they are doing but surely a cautionary should be issued

Down with 20%.Is this based on financials or is this a textbook example of a no confidence vote in real life?

Looking at that chart I have a feeling it's worth a punt around R70.
