Smells a bit funky doesn't it?
No problem with the participation in the rights offer. The maths suggests it was part of the pro rata offer rather than the placement - so no additional shares (above the normal amount per the pro rata offer) were transacted in.
Does it matter if the offer was an indicative non-binding offer? And if so, why even announce the rejection of such an offer?
Without looking into the disclosure rules more closely, this one feels worthy of a box of wine

From the ann - let the games begin ......
Steel & Tube recently reaffirmed its FY19 guidance of earnings before interest and tax of $25 million on the back of the continuing positive progress being made under the company’s ‘Striving for Excellence’ strategy. The company has a clear focus on growth and improving financial performance as it positions itself as New Zealand’s leading supplier of steel products. While the market remains highly competitive, Steel & Tube continues to win new customers, sign large contracts, increase efficiencies and reduce costs.
Steel & Tube’s solid foundation has recently been strengthened with a successful capital raising. The Board and Management are confident in the improving performance of the company, and remain focused on providing high quality steel solutions and products and delivering value for employees, customers and shareholders.

Always take note when directors and management buy shares and/or more shares.
Has served me very very well over the years - not a sure fire thing but close! Believe me, the buggers are tight with their money, so used are they these days to free options, discounted price entries etc. So when they put in their own money, especially more than token amounts, take note!
So easy!
Always right to buy when directors buy!

Useful but not enough to support a share price much (if anything) above market.
Its the delivery of the $40m+ future EBIT's that would take the share price up.
Interestingly $40m - $0.8m interest - $11m tax (@28%) = $28.2m
$28.2m / 166m shares on issue = 17c/share
Indicative takeover is therefore around a future PE of 10 (if the $40m EBIT is hit).

First offer is never last offer so $2 is on imo.
The way to assess this is that FBU can debt fund itself at less than 5% pa so even if FBU pays $2 per share ($330m), a takeover of STU will be earnings positive : $25m EBIT less $15m interest = $10m additional EBIT for FBU
$330m @ 4.5% pa = $15m interest or at 5% = 16.5m
Plus all the benefits from the lovely synergies and rationalization to come!

Seems a win win i suspect only the directors of STU are worried about a new job under a TO situation .... Time to get an independent report done pronto if they think the offer is not up to scratch ....

As I point out on FBU thread, next move is FBU.
First offer is never last offer so let's see what FBU comes out with.
Can imagine FBU executives huddling with their investment bankers and getting their response into shape.
