Dear Shareholder,
Offer for your shares in McPherson’s Ltd (“McPherson’s” or “MCP”)
I am pleased to present you with this offer (the Offer ) to acquire your shares in McPherson’s for $1.34 cash per MCP Share (the Offer Price ), which delivers you certain and immediate value.
The Offer is attractive and unconditional and you should accept for the following reasons:
-
McPherson’s has a long history of declining revenue and earnings, and has failed to provide specific guidance on its future performance;
-
McPherson’s share price has significantly underperformed the ASX All Ordinaries Index over the near term and long term;
-
Leadership instability and lack of transparency provides no confidence performance can be improved;
-
McPherson’s poor M&A track record suggests further acquisitions will heighten risks to the business;
-
McPherson’s is in need of a turnaround, which will take time and requires management stability and enhanced capability. Therefore, sustainable growth in revenue and earnings is highly uncertain;
-
100% cash consideration: certain and immediate value at an attractive price; and
-
McPherson’s share price may fall after the Offer closes.
You are permitted to sell some or all of your MCP Shares for 100% cash consideration at $1.34 per share on market immediately and will be paid cash two Trading Days after your acceptance. The Offer will close on Monday, 10 May 2021, unless extended or withdrawn under the Corporations Act.
Further details on the Offer, including how to accept the Offer and the reasons to accept the Offer, are contained in the Bidder’s Statement accompanying this letter.
If you have any questions about the Bidder’s Statement or the Offer generally, please contact the Offer Information Line on 1300 038 212 (within Australia) or +61 2 8022 7915 (outside Australia), or consult with your professional adviser.
We look forward to receiving your acceptance.
Yours sincerely,
