M&A Rumour and Activity
The Australian market ended the week down with the S&P/ASX 100 Index closing at 4490 points on Friday. The Australian
dollar also finished weaker at 94.30 US cents. Attention now switches to the Reserve Bank's board meeting on Tuesday
with most expecting interest rates to be left unchanged.
Two deals were announced this week.
MacMahon (ASX: MAH) sold its 25% share of the Express Rail Link project in Hong Kong to Leighton Asia. The sale
marked the end of MAH’s legacy construction projects, allowing the company to focus solely on its mining business.
Savcor (ASX:SAV), an asset maintenance and remediation specialist, entered into an indicative heads of agreement with a
strategic partner in relation to the sale of its Advanced Rehabilitation Technology services business for an undisclosed
amount. The sale is subject to the usual due diligence, legal and shareholder approvals.
3 Singaporean engineering & construction companies announced buybacks in the week including Lum Chang Holdings
(SGX:L19), Jaya Holdings (SGX:J10) and Civmec (SGX:P9D). PPS International (SEHK:8201) also conducted a buyback in
Hong Kong.
