Update: Game changer

The newly-announced rights issue, potentially raising c €114m (gross), ie four for 11 at €4.66 per share, is welcome in terms of cash and the scope for a step change in profit. Binding undertakings from key sponsors Puma, Evonik and SIGNAL IDUNA, covering c €82m of the issue, recognise management’s creation of a sustainable business with underlying profit growth. This was shown by record pre-transfer EBITDA in FY14, which confirmed that the Wembley-led comparative was not as good as it gets. We will review fully our forecasts on completion of the capital increase and release of the annual report.
