Pachin came out with its own <a href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2022\/10\/283632_1.pdf\">disclosure (pdf)<\/a> to the EGX on Monday, claiming it had not been notified of Saybad\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Refresher: <\/strong>Saybad had been an eager bidder for Pachin, <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/be287146-06a6-49f7-ae25-8f66565abb88\">upping its offer<\/a> by as much as 14% to EGP 16.50-18.75 per share after the company <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/74f34a18-edb7-4654-bb50-eac9f5012cba\">rejected<\/a> its initial bid. The revision came on the heels of a <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/754fb02f-43c8-47ad-88aa-ae065c7c0a7e\">rival bid<\/a> from Universal Building Materials and Chemicals (Sipes), which had said it would purchase up to all of the company\u2019s shares at EGP 17.50-18.50.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where\u2019s that fair value study? <\/strong>Pachin is expecting the results of a fair value study it told us it was <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/a44be27f-03a3-4465-bb9b-c25e993ceaaf\">planning to commission<\/a> in August to come in by the end of this week, a source close to the transaction told Enterprise. Shawky told us yesterday that the firm is yet to share the results. \u201cThe fair value study\u2019s results should be shared with the bidders in order for them to gauge whether the offer price is appropriate,\u201d Shawky said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pachin could look to start the bidding afresh: <\/strong>Pachin plans to solicit interest from investors using the fair value study as a benchmark price, our source said, adding that the company would welcome offers from all investors \u2014 including those who already made prior bids \u2014 on that basis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>REMEMBER-<\/strong> <strong>The play for Pachin comes amid the government\u2019s privatization push<\/strong>, which should see it reduce its involvement in or exit certain industries to make way for the private sector. Pachin is currently approximately 54% owned by state-owned companies and banks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advisors: <\/strong>Catalyst Partners acted as Saybad\u2019s financial advisor. Adsero-Raji Soliman & Associates is the firm\u2019s legal advisor. Pachin had tapped Al Ahly Pharos to help it \u201cdifferentiate between bids submitted and negotiate the highest possible value for the share price.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr class=\"grey-line\">\n<p><strong>EEP<\/strong><strong> + SFE get 56% of Selah El Telmeez:<\/strong> Egypt Education Platform (EEP) is acquiring a 51% stake in education platform Selah El Telmeez), a source with knowledge of the transaction told Enterprise.
