Our take is that the airport could be a driver of value on the west side of the city: A functioning international airport could boost appetite for housing in Six October and Sheikh Zayed, among other points to the west, and open them to international companies that require proximity to airports in choosing neighborhoods for headquarters and staff housing. El Masry spoke last night with Masaa DMC about the airport\u2019s strategic location (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0VqlhtNkmCU\">watch, runtime: 9:51<\/a>).<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!--

The drop came as the EGX30 closed the day essentially flat, off 0.1% on moderate volumes. Sarwa\u2019s shares opened at EGP 7.36 and were down as much as 18.5% before clawing back to close at EGP 6.54. The company\u2019s first-day performance comes despite strong appetite for its shares during the bookbuilding process, with the institutional offering more than 10x oversubscribed and the retail component of the IPO even more in demand. The debut came as the EGX remains under pressure from a global sell off of emerging markets assets that saw the EGX30 <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/10\/09\/egx-drops-to-its-lowest-level-in-over-a-year\/\">fall to its lowest level in over a year<\/a> last week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Did Sarwa\u2019s first day signal the fall IPO window may be closing? <\/strong>That\u2019s the blunt headline from Bloomberg, which declared that \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2018-10-15\/ipo-flop-sounds-alarm-for-egypt-before-6-billion-selling-spree?srnd=premium-middle-east\">IPO flop sounds alarm for Egypt before USD 6 bn selling spree<\/a>,\u201d a reference to the state\u2019s ambitious program to IPO state companies and offer for sale stakes in some already listed entities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Catch 22 for the state: <\/strong>Analysts quoted by the business information service don\u2019t think the government should be selling with the EM Zombie Apocalypse apparently still upon us \u2014 but say the state loses credibility if it is seen as pulling back from the IPO program for ideological second-thoughts. \u201cIt is likely that the government is only trying to sell the stakes because it wants to save its reputation, regardless of the cost,\u201d said Naeem Aslam, chief market analyst at Think Markets U.K. in London. \u201cWe do not think it is the right time for the government to sell them, and launching them now could actually create some panic in the market.\u201d Stephen Bailey-Smith, senior economist and investment strategist at Global Evolution Funds AG in Denmark, tells Bloomberg that, \u201cIf they postpone because they have second ideological thoughts, that would be taken badly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"content-anchor\" id=\"tldr-story-03\"><\/a> ** #3 <strong>Is the Eastern stake sale about to be postponed?<\/strong> Against this backdrop, Public Enterprises Minister Hisham Tawfik is meeting today with members of the committee overseeing the state privatization program, as well as execs from state-owned investment bank NI Capital, EFG Hermes, and the Chemical Industries Holding Company. On the agenda: Setting a date for the sale of a <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/10\/11\/zulficar-partners-tapped-as-legal-counsel-on-eastern-tobacco-sale\/\">4.5% stake<\/a> in cigarette maker Eastern Company. EFG Hermes \u2014 which is quarterbacking the transaction \u2014 called for the meeting to discuss dates in light of the recent drop in the EGX\u2019s performance and tumble in Eastern\u2019s stock price by more than 11%, sources told a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alborsaanews.com\/2018\/10\/16\/1141840\">local newspaper<\/a> yesterday.

Our conversation was their first joint interview since the transaction was first <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/04\/12\/sodic-mnhd-talks-to-begin-today-source\/\">hinted at back in April<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Barakat and Sherif point to a historic transaction in terms of size, scope and type.<\/strong> The transaction will likely be the very first all-share M&A on the EGX, with regulations allowing the transaction still in the pipeline. The acquisition will rank as one of the largest in EGX history \u2014 we\u2019re hard-pressed to think of one that was larger.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How big would the new entity be? <\/strong>Taking a sum of the parts approach, Sherif and Barakat estimate the market cap of the combined entity based on today\u2019s market prices would be EGP 16 bn and create what should be the second-largest player in the domestic real estate industry. Based on 2017 figures, the company would have turned in a net profit of EGP 1.5 bn on revenues of EGP 4.7 bn and would have debt of about EGP 2 bn. It also has cash to work with, with cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet of about EGP 4.2 bn as of 30 June 2018.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the timeline for execution?<\/strong> The two say they expect the transaction to be completed at the end of the year, and both sides will hire an independent financial advisor to push things through.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who\u2019s advising:<\/strong> MNHD had tapped EFG Hermes to advise on the transaction, while Zaki Hashem & Partners are serving as legal counsel. SODIC had previously appointed CI Capital and White & Case as its advisers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Excerpts<\/strong> from our conversation late yesterday:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Enterprise: In your words, what exactly is happening here?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hazem Barakat (HB): <\/strong>Basically, we are combining SODIC and MNHD to create one of the largest players in the market. We believe that the real estate market is ripe for plenty of consolidation, and we feel that both companies are the perfect fit for each other.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Magued Sherif (MS): <\/strong>We are looking to create an entity that would be among the biggest players in the market. As far as I know the combined entity would be the second-biggest real estate company in Egypt. Shareholders, management and employees are very excited about creating additional value on both sides through the transaction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Walk us through the transaction details and structure?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>HB:<\/strong> This will be the very first all-share transaction that will take place on the EGX. Current regulations enforce a cash component for issuing a mandatory tender offer. Regulators are now working to amend that to allow for an all-share transaction. These regulations are expected to come out sometime soon. This was not on the table during our initial discussions earlier this year, but when this became a possibility, both parties decided that this was the best route to take. An all-share transaction preserves cash for the organization to grow.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MS:<\/strong> When looking to create this new entity, there were several alternatives we looked at, including a merger. This, however, would have taken a very long time to complete, which would not have been healthy for the transaction. We narrowed down the options to either a partial acquisition of shares from one side to the other or an all-share transaction. After several discussions we decided to go for the latter in order to not lose any financial muscle and to maximize the combined entity\u2019s financial resources.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HB:<\/strong> I don\u2019t have the exact figures with me right now, but I think this will be one of the largest acquisitions on the EGX to date.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MS:<\/strong> And the most liquid, which is very important as it is the healthier option for both companies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the expected value of the transaction?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>MS:<\/strong> The combined market cap for the companies prior to the transaction based on today\u2019s market prices is EGP 16 bn.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why combine the businesses in the first place and why now?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>MS: <\/strong>We are operating in a fragmented and competitive environment, where consolidation is important to achieve greater synergies, especially as both companies have very strong land banks, brands, and experience. Why now? Now is the right time to do it where survival will be for the fittest, strongest and biggest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why is this good for your respective shareholders?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>HB:<\/strong> I think if we look at the combined entity, we\u2019re looking at a very sizeable and diversified land bank of over 15 mn sqm across East and West Cairo in addition to the North Coast. We\u2019re also looking at an expanded client base. So we\u2019re leveraging both brands and their strong equity in every segment with these consumers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MS:<\/strong> I completely agree. The combined entity will tap into a wider market, be it geographically, demographically, or economically. And that\u2019s where the value creation for both companies\u2019 shareholders comes in.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How long you continue to have stand-alone brands, management structures and strategy? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>HB: <\/strong>We have agreed to hire international consultants to advise on the best way to extract synergies between the companies so that the sum of the parts is greater than the whole. Regarding the two brands, I am not in a position to comment on that at this stage, because that would depend on the advice we\u2019re going to get from the consultants on the best way of going forward. There\u2019s detail, depth and study needed to decide on the best route to maximize value for shareholders. In the meantime we continue to build and strengthen the two brands to perform strongly in their respective markets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MS:<\/strong> Absolutely. The only way we get the best out of the synergies between the two is to have someone independent look at the model. We are hiring the consultant jointly and whatever makes sense, we will adopt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you give us an idea on the transaction timeline?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>HB:<\/strong> We\u2019re hoping to close on the transaction before year end. The difficult part is behind us and it is down to execution now. Both parties are excited and we want to close this as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What does your board structure look like post-transaction? Shareholder structure?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>MS:<\/strong> The shareholder structure depends on the MTO and the uptake of the swap. The board structures will be decided based on where we land. But, generally speaking, board structures reflect shareholding while accounting for corporate governance best practice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HB:<\/strong> I agree. It\u2019s about who is going to swap and who isn\u2019t. We won\u2019t know until the execution and shareholders (at least the major ones) make their decision about staying in MNHD or swapping.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What regulatory approvals does this transaction require? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>HB:<\/strong> The MTO will require the Financial Regulatory Authority\u2019s approval.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What have we not asked about that you would have liked to have been asked about?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>HB: <\/strong>What\u2019s the next acquisition? We do have to make use of SODIC\u2019s EGP 4 bn in cash equivalents. After all, SODIC is the acquiring vehicle. Seriously, though: There\u2019s a lot we can do on the M&A front as a combined entity and there are a lot of different ideas for where we might go next. Whether they work or not has to be discussed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MS:<\/strong> I\u2019m very optimistic. Like you say, we have plenty of ideas and we want to see this happen.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n

housing programs<\/strong>. When Singapore declared independence from the UK in 1959, the new government set up a new housing board with a five-year mandate to resettle the poor into public housing. Even though a disastrous fire broke out shortly thereafter, the board not only contained its impact but also achieved its mandate by constructing 51,000 apartments and having 400,000 people housed by 1965, according to Bloomberg. Now, 82% of the city-state\u2019s population live in HDB-built blocks, and they are far from your typical shabby and crime-infested public housing \u2018zones\u2019 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2cjPgNBNeLU\">watch, runtime: 3:59<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/worth-watching\/\">worth watching<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"622933\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"622933\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">7<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">ON YOUR WAY OUT<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/10\/16\/egyptian-blue-dye-can-save-and-generate-energy-study-finds\/\">\r\n                            Egyptian Blue dye can save and generate energy, study finds                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/10\/16\/egyptian-blue-dye-can-save-and-generate-energy-study-finds\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();
