Healthscope has rallied from $2.02 to $2.30 in the past few weeks, as the market becomes more certain of a positive outcome on the pending takeover offer.
If the takeover fails, shareholder value will be unlocked through the separation of the REIT from the hospital assets.
The takeover offer is priced at $2.44 and so far, the due diligence has not uncovered anything to prevent the proposal being formalised. We expect to learn more in the next 4 – 8 weeks.
