Shareholder update
The Board of BH Macro Limited ("BHMG") has been approached by its largest
shareholder, Investec Wealth & Investment Limited ("Investec"), to explore the
possibility of a combination with BH Global Limited ("BHGG"). BHMG understands
that Investec has made the same request to the board of BHGG. Investec is a
significant shareholder of BHGG as well as BHMG.
The BHMG board views Investec's proposal as a positive suggestion and would
welcome the opportunity to enter into discussions with the BHGG board as soon
as practicable regarding the possible combination of the two companies.
Investec has requested that these discussions take place before the launch of
the tender offers that have been previously announced by each company following
shareholder approval of the changes to their respective management agreements
in March.
Instead of each company potentially continuing in a smaller, more illiquid
form, with significantly overlapping investment portfolios, the BHMG board sees
significant merit in the suggestion that the interests of shareholders in both
BHMG and BHGG would be best served by a combination into a larger, single,
company with an exit opportunity being offered to those shareholders who no
longer wished to remain invested.
For the avoidance of doubt this is not an approach for the purposes of the
Takeover Code nor is it intended that any combination would be a transaction to
which the Takeover Code applies.
Brevan Howard Capital Management LP, the manager of both companies, has
confirmed that it is supportive of discussions between the two companies taking
place and that it would help facilitate any agreed combination of the two
companies, including by not seeking to enforce any notice period or
compensation payment under the existing management agreements in connection
with the combination.
