    for Corus
    PRINCE MATHEWS THOMAS

    TIMES NEWS NETWORK[ THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2006 01:28:17 AM]

    MUMBAI: New battle lines have been drawn in the trans-continental takeover drama, which may raise stakes to levels unseen in the global steel industry.

    Companhia Siderurgica Nacional (CSN), which is involved in a takeover battle with Tata Steel over Corus, has indicated that it is willing to raise the bid offer from the present 515 pence. The company's finance director, Otavio Lazcano, claimed that CSN can use its $2 billion of cash reserves over and above the $11.6 billion it has raised to finance the acquisition. A back-of-the-envelope calculation suggests the bid may well cross 600 pence a share if it draws into its cash reserves.

    ET on Tuesday reported that Tata Steel has roped in NM Rothschild as its finance advisor for the revised takeover bid, and the company may be willing to pay over $10 billion for the Anglo-Dutch steelmaker at about 550 pence per share. With CSN's latest claims, Tata Steel may have to reconsider its options. However, it refused to comment on the possibility.

    In an interview to a London-based steel news portal on Tuesday, Mr Lazcano said CSN can avail of $2 billion from its cash reserves. But he hastened to add that the company may not need to use the cash reserves "because other credit options seem adequate".

    CSN's official representative did not elaborate, and said disclosures will be made in due course. "CSN won't be making any new disclosures other than in the proper format that simultaneously informs all market participants," he said.

    As per the company's announcement on Monday when it tabled the formal bid, the proposed acquisition will be funded by a cash contribution of about $3.3 billion from a subsidiary of CSN to CSN Acquisitions, a wholly-owned arm set up for the acquisition. Barclays, ING Bank and Goldman Sachs have lent CSN Holdings about $8.3 billion (comprising senior term loan facilities of $3.9 billion, about $680 million of senior revolving credit facility and about $3.9 billion of subordinated high-yield bridge facility).

    In fact, CSN may be actually prepared for a bigger bet. Funds raised by the company till now will enable the company to fork out as much as 620 pence a share, which will take the total bid size to a whopping $11.6 billion.

    Staalbedrijf CSN kan laatste bod op Corus verhogen - media


    AMSTERDAM (Dow Jones)--Het Braziliaanse staalbedrijf Companhia Siderurgica Nacional (SID), of CSN, dat met het Indiase Tata Steel is verwikkeld in een overnamestrijd om het Brits-Nederlandse staalbedrijf Corus kan zijn laatste bod opnieuw verhogen, citeert de Indiase krant Business Standard een CSN bestuurder, zonder zijn naam te noemen.

    Is 9,20 Euro per aandeel! Of we dit krijgen is natuurlijk de vraag, maar het lijkt me zeer waarschijnlijk dat we nog een biedronde tegemoet kunnen zien.

    Het bericht geeft wel aan welke koers haalbaar is, zeker als zich nog een derde partij meldt.

    Eerst Tata maar met een bod van 550p (8.15) dan kan de koers naar 570p (8.45).

    Overal in de wereld worden grote bouwprojecten,waar zeer veel staal voor nodig is, gerealiseerd. Maar op de tekeningtafels liggen echter nog veel grotere projecten in het verschiet, hiervoor is staal nodig en veel!! Het is dus niet verwonderlijk dat staalconcerns over elkaar heen bieden voor bedrijven als een corus, wat op het moment maar een klein spelertje in de markt is, maar wel eentje met know-how. De biedingen liggen nu al rond de 9 euro en het eind is nog niet in zicht, het wordt echter al wel vermoedt dat de betreffende staal reuzen al serieus aan het inkopen zijn, zie ook de dagomzetten van de laatste 2 maanden..

    Mittal denies backing CSN in Corus battle

    Mittal denies backing CSN in Corus battle

    London, PTI:


    Arcelor-Mittal, on Thursday, rubbished speculation that it was backing one of the bidders. “There is no truth in these rumours. We are not providing any backing, financial or otherwise, to CSN in its bid to acquire Corus,” an Arcelor-Mittal spokesperson told PTI.

    A CSN spokesperson said CSN is making the offer on its own with no other industrial parties involved.

    Rumour mills were agog with stories that NRI steel tycoon L N Mittal had thrown his weight behind the Brazilian steel manufacturer, which has outbid Tata in the race for Corus. CSN has offered the Anglo-Dutch steel company 515 pence a share, compared to Tata Steel’s 500 pence per share.


    Murmurs about Mittal engineering the Corus situation has been gaining currency, as Tatas are considered a more formidable rival in the global steel space.

    No surprise

    Industry sources said that it would be no surprise if Mittal might have arranged couple of billion dollars to fund CSN’s bid, which has gone above $11 billion including debt and pension payments.

    Besides, Mittal could be quite helpful in garnering the support of shareholder lobbies when the bid comes up for vote before the shareholders of Corus, they added.

    Ever since its successful merger with Arcelor in June that created the world’s largest steelmaker with a market share of over 10 per cent, Mittal has consistently supported further consolidation in the industry.

    “We are watching Corus situation with interest but would not wish to speculate on the outcome,” the spokesperson for Arcelor-Mittal said.

    However, the company declined to comment on whether it forsees the eventual winner as a potential rival or which of the two could emerge as a more formidable rival.
