The announcement on Wednesday of Remgro consortium's offer to buy out Mediclinic has the market buzzing with speculation that the diversified investment holdings company is finally ready to restructure.

Three weeks ago, Remgro and the Mediterranean Shipping Company – acting together as a 50-50 consortium – presented a cash offer to buy Mediclinic at 463 pence a share, which works out to roughly £3.4-billion .

Mediclinic’s earnings are forecast to grow 14% year on year, and it posted group revenue of £3.2-billion for the year to March 2022. “Mediclinic is a much larger asset and the fact that they want to delist Mediclinic, together with a consortium, clearly indicates that they have a desire to clean up their portfolio and take many of their interests in-house, leading to a better valuation for Remgro,” he says.

“Might Remgro then, in due course, restructure RCL Foods and take RCL private, and meld their edible oils business into a greater RCL unlisted asset? It’s very intriguing.
