Unsolicited and highly conditional proposal

On 17 November 2009, BOOM entered a trading halt pending an announcement on the equity raising

After this trading halt was in place and after strong support from investors for the equity raising, BOOM received an incomplete, unsolicited, and highly conditional proposal from McAleese Investments (its 12.2% shareholder) an associate of Harbrew Group

  • This proposal follows a previous, unsolicited merger approach in July 2009 from Harbrew whereby BOOM would acquire Harbrew’s business. That proposal did not meet BOOM’s investment criteria

The proposal:

  • McAleese to acquire 100% of BOOM at $0.60 per share in cash through a Scheme of Arrangement

  • Highly conditional, including being subject to unspecified due diligence, finalisation of funding with McAleese financiers, BOOM not proceeding with its proposed capital raising and requires shareholder and court approvals

  • BOOM to grant exclusivity with a 1% break fee in favour of McAleese

The proposal represents:

  • discount of 32% to BOOM’s Net Tangible Assets of $0.89 as at 30 June 2009

  • 8% premium to the three month VWAP of $0.56 prior to the approach

  • 6% premium to the one month VWAP of $0.57 prior to the approach

The Board has REJECTED the proposal:

  • It is highly conditional and incomplete compared to the certainty of an underwritten equity raising

  • Proceeding only with their proposal would prevent BOOM from raising much needed equity to deleverage its balance sheet and deal with bank covenant issues

Increasing utilisation by 5 percentage points in the crane hire business (with a proportional revenue increase in the BOOM Sherrin business) and no price growth, should deliver an additional $13m EBITDA:

EBITDA[(1)]

Utilisation: 70% Utilisation: 75% Utilisation: 80% Utilisation: 85%
$63m $76m $89m $101m
= c. +$13m for each 5
percentage points

= c. +$13m for each 5 percentage points increase in utilisation

BOOM’s target for average crane utilisation is greater than 80%

1 EBITDA sensitivity based on BOOM’s existing fixed and variable cost profile, incrementally adding back the 2H FY09 restructuring cost savings based on increased utilisation.

2 Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) will be determined with reference to gross capital employed.

3 Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) will be determined using the 10 year bond rate as the risk free rate and using data sourced from Bloomberg to determine the average Beta in BOOM’s industry sector.

FY10 guidance

FY10 EBITDA guidance of $50m - $60m announced to the ASX on 4 November 2009 maintained

Guidance based on:

  • Year to date operating performance, with conditions consistent with those experienced in the first four months of FY10

  • Specific operational improvements relating to maintenance, transport and procurement

  • FY10 capital expenditure of c. $26m (primarily in Crane Hire)

  • New equipment on its way, for which projects already identified

  • 750 tonne Crawler Crane

  • 450 tonne Mobile Crane

  • 400 tonne Mobile Crane

FY10 EBIT guidance is provided at $16m - $26m

  • Depreciation associated with the $50m - $60m EBITDA of $33m

  • Depreciation is based on the existing asset base, adjusted for the c. $26m of capital additions and planned disposals

  • Amortisation of $1m associated with contractual rights

On the basis of this guidance, BOOM does not anticipate paying a distribution for FY10
