Minmetals resumes talks on OZ Min deal
March 30, 2009 - 11:39AM http://news.smh.com.au/breaking- ... -20090330-9g79.html
Chinese state-owned Minmetals Non-ferrous Metals Company Ltd says it remains in talks with Australian regulators about a revised takeover offer for debt-laded miner OZ Minerals Ltd.
Treasurer Wayne Swan forced the parties back to the drawing board after threatening to block the takeover if the Prominent Hill mine was included in the deal, citing national security concerns.
The $1.15 billion Prominent Hill copper and gold mine, OZ Minerals' best asset, is located in the Woomera Prohibited Area in South Australia - a weapons testing range.
Minmetals spokesman Ian Smith declined to comment on whether a revised proposal had been submitted to OZ Minerals but said the company remains in talks with the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB).
"That remains the case," Mr Smith said when asked if Minmetals was continuing discussions with the FIRB.
"Any offer put forward would be subject to FIRB considerations."
Minmetals had offered 82.5 cents cash per OZ Minerals share, or $2.6 billion for the company.
The government's decision comes as OZ Minerals seeks an extension from its banks to refinance $1.3 billion of debt due on Tuesday.
The refinancing of the debt, clocked up when OZ Minerals was formed through the merger of Zinifex and Oxiana in 2007 and at the top of the commodities boom, is crucial for the company to stay afloat.
Analysts said the decision to exclude Prominent Hill from the transaction could potentially scuttle the deal.
" rominent Hill is the jewel in the OZ Minerals crown and this is likely to be a deal breaker for CMC's (Minmetals) 82.5 cent cash bid," Citigroup analyst Clarke Wilkins said in a note to clients.
Credit Suisse analysts, led by Michael Slifirski, said it would be surprising if Minmetals are still interested in doing business with OZ Minerals without Prominent Hill.
"Minmetals has expressed an interest in becoming an Asia-Pac mining house, but with the jewel Prominent Hill asset now out of reach, there are probably more attractive alternatives in realising this goal," Credit Suisse said in a client note.
OZ Minerals chief executive Andrew Michelmore said on Friday that it had begun talks with Minmetals about possible changes to the deal, and was in "constructive" talks with its bankers.
Shares in OZ Minerals are in a trading halt and last traded at 55.5 cents.
OZ Minerals spokeswoman Natalie Worley was not immediately available for comment. |
