from CitiSB
The Cavalry Arrives A70¢ cash bid - Gem Diamonds Ltd has bid 70¢/share for KIM, a 33% premium to the prior share price. KIM directors have unanimously recommended the bid and GEM will immediately acquire 14.9% of KIM stock from a range of shareholders. A $2m break fee has been agreed. Great result for KIM shareholders - We rate KIM a Sell (3S) with a valuation of 42¢/share but with a warning that costs remained too high and that the rising A$ could materially affect earnings and cash flow. Therefore the GEM bid is a good result under the circumstances. Note that KIM's holding in Blina Diamonds represents 7¢/share of our valuation. The pain wasn't over for KIM - The KIM chairman stated that the company has faced challenges outside its control, chief among these being the A$ strength. Indeed GEM has provided KIM with $10m for working capital indicating possible cash flow issues not long after the ~$15m capital raising in May'07. We recommend selling - Given our modest earnings profile for KIM that would be negatively impacted by possible higher A$ forecasts we recommend selling into the deal or into a stronger price emerges when the stock resumes trading. GEM an aggressive acquirer - GEM was listed in the UK in February '07 and produces gem quality diamonds from Lesotho and Indonesia with development projects in Botswana, The Congo, The Central African Republic and potentially Angola. KIM would provide geographic diversification and gems quality stones. -------------------- TOO MANY CHIEFS

Are we getting ripped off? In a different environment the answer is probably yes but at the moment I would say no.
I think the letter to shareholders puts the case very clearly, at A$ .64 the mine was viable at the current rate and with production costs increasing but diamond prices falling it is a very borderline operation, other miners can obsorb the cost increases due to increased metal prices etc but kimberely cannot. The other option I guess the board had was to try and raise further cash to continue on until things improve, if and when, but at what price would this have been achieved. Maybe the price will be raised, maybe another offer who knows, but to me its get out of jail free card and if .70 is the final price I will be ahead around 10% which may be better than would have been achieved otherwise. Time will tell. Arms |

bargain price at 70cents. We are getting ripped off! I dont think shareholders will support it. Our directors are not doing us any favours. They should reject it and wait for a better bid. The SP has only dipped under 70 cents because of market manipulators. It was no accident; they must think we are dumb
