Billabong被收购 Billabong Got Acquired By TPG International


当地时间23日,澳大利亚第一冲浪品牌Billabong宣布TPG (Texas Pacific Group) International公司对其进行收购,每股1.45澳元,共计4.79亿股,总计6.95亿澳元(相当于5.89亿欧元或7.13亿美元)。这个价格比Billabong股价高出32%。截至6月21日,Billabong净债务1亿美元。7月23日以后,将不再和分销商进行合作。
Billabong International’s board of director has acknowledged receipt of a new indicative and non-binding takeover offer from Texas Pacific Group (TPG) for 1.45 Australian dollars per share, or a total of A$694.5 million (€588.9m-$712.9m).

去年2月,Billabong董事会曾拒绝了TPG开出的每股3澳元,总价7.65亿澳元(相当于6.12亿欧元或8.2亿美元)的收购价。后Billabong被迫出售了旗下配件品牌Nixon 48.5%的股份以偿还银行信贷。

The offered price is 32 percent higher than the value of Billabong’s shares prior to the publication of TPG’s new proposal, and TPG has indicated that it may be revised after due diligence. Two shareholders who together own 12.5 percent of the shares have accepted the deal. Billabong’s board has not yet taken a position on the offer, but has indicated that it may want to secure a higher bid. Last February, Billabong’s board rejected an offer by TPG at A$3.00 per share, which valued the company at the time at A$765.3 million (€611.5m-$820.1m). Since then, Billabong has sold a 48.5 percent stake in Nixon and raised new capital, diluting the value of its own shares. More in SGI Europe.

关于Billabong
Billabong是冲浪休闲品牌,澳洲第一冲浪品牌,也是众多水上运动品牌中设计最具街头味道的一个。1973年,Billabong在澳大利亚黄金海岸成立,一直为板类运动爱好者提供新颖时尚高质的服饰和板类运动产品。
Billabong旗下有Tigerlily、Von Zipper等品牌,1990年时达到鼎盛时期。2007年,公司的股价一路攀升至每股17美元,但是一系列的购买零售店和决策上的失误导致债务积压,自此开始亏损。
