6.406% bonds due Feb 16/21. What impact will a takeover by Glencore have on these? Feels that at the end of the day this will be negative for bondholders and positive for stockholders. Glencore is not guaranteeing Viterra’s debt. Also, they are planning on selling about $2.6 billion of Viterra’s assets, which is a negative for the bonds.
Subject to a takeover with a bunch of people looking at different chunks of the company. Likelihood of further gains on a potential takeover is pretty limited.
Nothing is going to happen to the company. It is dead money for now. No prospect for another bid so not prospect for upside. Hopefully you can find something better to do with the money.
Thinks this is a done deal. Glencore has taken it over. There are parts of business that AGU had taken over and sold to CF industries. A week to 3 weeks and this should be wrapped up.
