RECTICEL - The end game has now finally begun

Recticel’s agreement to sell Engineered Foams to Carpenter and the inherent strategy change towards a pure Insulation play is a bold attempt to fend off Greiner’s meagre € 13.5 per share bid. Greiner still has cards to play with, incl. the deal on Bois Sauvage’s 27% stake, but will have to significantly up its bid to block an Engineered Foams sale to Carpenter. The new potential pathway to create a pure Insulation play now seems the best way to maximize shareholder value, prompting us to raise our SOTP assumptions and our TP from € 16 to € 18.
