Steadfast slips after A$7.7 bln Amwins-Dragoneer approach draws ASX deal focus

Steadfast Group Limited dropped 2.8% to finish at A$5.23 on Thursday, down A$0.15. The ASX-listed insurance broker opened at A$5.35 and hit A$5.40 before sliding back. Traders weighed a conditional takeover bid from Amwins Group and Dragoneer Investment Group, but shares still held above levels before the offer. The stock soared 36% to A$5.38 on Wednesday, Reuters said, after Steadfast revealed the offer. The A$6-per-share bid still tops Thursday’s closing price, with shares staying under the cash offer as investors weigh risks tied to due diligence, paperwork and approvals.

Steadfast Group jumps on $7.7bn takeover offer; SDF remains under bid price

Steadfast Group Limited shares jumped the most in years after the insurance broker revealed a A$6-a-share cash takeover bid from Amwins Group and Dragoneer Investment Group. The deal comes with a 51.9% premium to Steadfast’s A$3.95 close on June 9. Steadfast’s enterprise value, including debt and equity, is about A$7.7 billion under the offer. Investors got a premium bid after months of stock pressure. Steadfast shares finished Wednesday at A$5.38, up A$1.43, or 36.2%. The stock opened at A$5.23 and touched A$5.38 during the session, according to the company’s investor price page. Shares are still trading about 10% under the proposed cash offer, keeping a discount that indicates the market isn’t pricing the deal as finished.
