Impala Platinum's Royal wedding - Abax Investment’s Anthony Sedgwick

Loading player...
Abax Investment’s co-founder Anthony Sedgwick sheds light on Impala Platinum’s bid to take over mid-tier miner Royal Bafokeng Platinum (RBPlats) in a deal that values the precious metals producer at R43bn. Abax, along with several other large asset managers, has sold just under 25% of the business to Impala for R150 per share, in a part-cash, part-share deal. Competitor Northam Platinum recently acquired a 33% stake from RBPlats’ largest shareholder, Royal Bafokeng Holdings, which was valued at R17bn for a consideration of R180.50 per share. Interestingly, Abax is a shareholder in both Impala and Northam and Sedgwick gives us an idea of what this new consolidated mining asset could mean for both parties.  Learn more about your ad choices.
