* Infrea and Netel to merger
* The combined company to have ~SEK 5bn in revenue
* Stynnergies of ~SEK 50m yearly
A 12% premie to close, an 8% discount to 90 days average
Netel and Infrea intend to carry out a merger between the companies where Netel absorbs Infrea. The combined platform will generate revenues of approximately SEK 5bn and is expected to deliver annual synergies of around SEK 50m. The transaction is strategically compelling as the two companies complement each other across service offering, customer exposure and geography, operating in partly different markets while sharing a common infrastructure focus. Infrea's shareholders will receive 17 new Netel shares for every 4 shares held. Netel's board intends to carry out a fully secured rights issue of approximately SEK 127m ahead of closing, with an over-allotment issue of up to SEK 75m also proposed. The theoretical ex-rights price represents a 12% premium to the last closing price, is flat to the 30-day average and reflects an 8% discount to the 90-day average. Martin Reinholdsson, currently CEO of Infrea, will serve as CEO of the combined company, and Alireza Etemad, Chairman of Netel, will continue as Chairman of the board.
