    Shoeshine in the NBR gave his thoughts about this the other day ..... very interesting

    You can get the independent advisors report when AMP took over Summerset in 2006 off the Companies Office website .... and even though a year or so old Shoeshine says probably hasn't changed much ..... and says that report is a precursor as to what the new IPO might look like.

    One quote from that report was 'a potential list price (in an IPO) for Summerset shares would, in our opinion, inevitably trade at a discount to the PE multiplies currently being achieved by Ryman and Metlifecare' .... and so an IPO wasn't considered a good idea then etc

    So what is AMPs $125M now worth?

    From today's herald:

    "On the local scene, AMP Capital pulled its proposed float of rest home operator Summerset in response to the market turmoil. In what would have been only the second IPO of the year, the float was expected to raise around $350 million."

    AMR has sold all shares and is pursuing property.

    AMP pulls Summerset float
    AMP Capital Investors has cancelled plans to float retirement village business Summerset on the sharemarket, blaming turbulence in global financial markets.

    AMP had planned to sell 80 per cent of Summerset and hoped to raise up to $304 million. However, market testing of an indicative price range of $1.70 to $1.90 a share

    failed to win enough support from share brokers.

    AMP managing director Murray Gribben said this morning the float had been deferred after the NZX50 index fell 1.5 per cent yesterday and the Australian S&P200 dropped 3 per cent, mirroring recent international falls.

    "Summerset is a quality business which AMP Capital Investors is very pleased to own," Mr Gribben said. "We believe that its inherent value exceeds what the market would be prepared to pay in the current volatile conditions. We are not willing to accept a lower price for the asset and are under no pressure to sell."

    Existing shareholders would retain ownership and fund Summerset's development plans. Mr Gribben said AMP could reconsider floating Summerset in the future.

    Yesterday the lead brokers of Summerset's float, First NZ Capital and ABN Amro Rothschild, delayed the book build by 24 hours. They said they were reassessing the pricing of the shares in light of "recent uncertainties in global financial markets." The delay would also allow more time to assess Summerset's ability to elect into the Government's new portfolio investment entities (PIE) tax regime, which comes into effect on October 1.

    AMP bought Summerset for about $125 million in November 2005.

    The promoters of a rival initial public offering by ING and Symphony Investments, of two Auckland retirement villages, are due to start talks with brokers on indicative interest over the next few days. Being managed by Forsyth Barr, the ING and Symphony float is looking to raise about $100 million.

    Smile Seems like only yesterday

    Well it would appear to be back on again and with the current owners keeping a majority stake (insert your take on that here ).

    I am going a wandering for a while so it can happen without me, but you may (or may not) want to [invest/ignore/make some comment] on this.

    is any once getting in on this. NO public pool from the looks of things and haven't seen it come through from ASB (haven't been looking though).

    I have asked my broker for a prospectus.This sector has been very kind to me.I hold RYM in NZ and ILF in Aussie.I did hold AVE in Aussie,and did well with MET [NZ]a good while ago. Reirement villages and medical supply businesses will keep doing well with the ageing population.l

    RYM are the rolls royce of this sector, Somerset's model is somewhat inferior. (I can't give you full details, but I was at an institutional presentation for the first attempted float a few years ago, and interest was only luke warm then, and consequently deferred) With the price being set at the lower end of the spectrum this time around, don't expect to stag it, but they will probably get this away OK

    I'd be really interested to hear SAUCE's opinion on this one, as he knows the sector well by all accounts

    my concern is that a PE fund is retaining a 50% stake. PE funds aren't long term holders so that is a huge overhang on the market.

    they are probably maintaining 50% to ensure continuity of ownership required to carry forward tax losses - losses are of large value.

    Any consensus on this float now ? Anyone interested, for some reason it doesn't inspire me to buy into it.
