From Breakingviews - KKR can limit the pain of Elliott's telco blitz
Still, KKR – which has joined forces with Global Infrastructure Partners and will co-control Vantage with Vodafone – has some protections. The bidders have enough shares to implement the domination regime, which hands over outright control of Vantage's cashflows while the company remains listed.
KKR and its partners could offer Elliott and other Vantage shareholders 35 euros a share immediately, at a cost of 1.9 billion euros. But if the buyers enforced a domination agreement and paid 40 euros a share in five years’ time the total bill, including annual payments worth 1.30 euros per share, would be only 2.5 billion euros. Delaying the settlement would also help boost KKR’s internal rate of return on the investment.
All this puts KKR in a stronger position when negotiating with Elliott. That means the private equity giant might emerge from the German M&A hurt locker less damaged than some previous occupants.
