Requests Gain Capital's Board change its recommendation
RIVERSIDE, CT / ACCESSWIRE / May 28, 2020 / Neustrada Capital LLC owns approximately 1% of Gain Capital Holdings, Inc and supports JB Capital's proposal outlined in its Form 13D dated May 27, 2020.
Neustrada Capital noted in a letter sent to the Board on May 25, 2020 (attached) that it did not support the transaction for these reasons:
- The extraordinary earnings since the transaction was announced.
- The estimated net cash per share of $5.80 on May 31.
- The estimated tangible book value of $8.10 on May 31.
- The fact that the fairness opinion dated February 26 has not been updated.
- Three Directors support Neustrada's view.
- The projected earnings power of $2.15 to $2.40 per share the company articulated in the attached presentation has been clearly substantiated.
Further, Neustrada noted that the Board's own actions suggest the price is too low. Specifically:
- Repurchasing 8.2 million shares in 2018 at $7.73/share.
- Repurchasing 1.12 million shares in 2019 at $6.20/share.
- These purchases were made at approximately book value. You are now recommending holders sell shares at an approximate 25% discount to book value.
- These purchases were made when the company had approximately $130 million debt outstanding versus a negligible amount at the projected closing date.
- The Board awarded Mr. Glenn Stephens incentive compensation for 2020, however, shareholders are not able to share in 2020's earnings.
