 The best unknown activist investment of 2009





 October 9, 2009 by greenbackd







 In keeping with our penchant for stories about idiosyncratic investors who
 trade in odd securities found off the beaten track, we bring you perhaps the
 best unknown activist investment of 2009. With a far away land, a young
 protagonist, an odd treasure, an unexpected twist and a narrow escape, it’s
 a bullwhip and a fedora short of being an Indiana Jones movie. In the role
 of young protagonist is Nicholas Bolton, a 27-year old investor who made
 A$4.5M ($4M) almost bringing down BrisConnections, the developer of a A$4.8B
 ($4.3B) Australian toll road. What’s most amazing is that he achieved this
 with an initial stake worth just A$47,000 ($42,000). In so doing, he became
 the bête noire of his fellow BrisConnections investors, attracted the
 attention of the Australia Securities and Investments Commission (similar to
 the SEC) and drew the ire of the Australian media.



 *BrisConnections: The Temple of Doom*



 Several unusual elements make the Nicholas Bolton versus BrisConnections
 story reasonably complex. Bear with us, to understand the story it’s
 necessary to understand the BrisConnections security in detail.





 BrisConnections, backed by Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse Group, JPMorgan
 Chase  Co. and Macquarie Bank, raised A$1.23B ($1.16B) in July last year
 through the sale of an unusual equity security called a stapled unit. The
 BrisConnections stapled unit is a unit in the trust holding the toll road
 assets and a share in the corporate trustee. The trust unit and the share
 must trade together, and hence are said to be stapled. The reasons for
 creating such a security are beyond the scope of this post, but suffice it
 to say that stapled securities offer certain tax benefits. What really makes
 this story interesting is that the BrisConnections stapled units were issued
 on an installment basis. Installment means that on application purchasers
 paid A$1 ($0.90) for each stapled unit and were then obliged to make two
 further installments of A$1 ($0.90) each, payable nine months and 18 months
 after the IPO. In a world of rapidly rising stock prices, installment

  securities present no problem. When stockmarkets are in decline, however,
 the securities can trade down dramatically as investors attempt to avoid
 paying further installments.



 13IPO tanked spectacularly, dropping 60% on the first day of trading before
 falling into terminal decline. A few months before the first installment was
 to fall due, the units had traded down to A$0.001 (that’s 1/10th of a cent).
 At a unit price of $0.001, a BrisConnections unit became a very dangerous
 security for those not realising that the units came with two A$1.00
 installments for each $0.001 paid. That meant, for example, that a purchaser
 of $1,000 of the units owed $2M in installments and a purchaser of $10,000
 owed $20M. It seems that there were many purchasers at $0.001 who were
 unable to fulfil their obligations and then decided that they would rather
 not own BrisConnections units. Unfortunately for them, they had run out of
 greater fools. As Charlie Munger might say, they were like the mouse who
 cries, “Let me out of the trap, I’ve decided I don’t want the cheese.” A
 month out from the first installment, there were ~70M units on the

  ask at $0.001 – the minimum price at which a security can trade on the
 Australian Stock Exchange – and no bids.







 Enter Nicholas Bolton.



 *Bolton: Raider of the Lost Ark*



 Bolton had started acquiring BrisConnections units through an investment
 company, Australian Style Investments, in November last year. Before too
 long, he’d spent A$47,000 to acquire a 15% stake and become BrisConnections
 largest unitholder. He’d also taken on a A$94M liability, money that he did
 not have. What he did next comes straight from the World Poker Tour. No, he
 didn’t fold. He went all in, upping his stake to 19.9%. Why 19.9%? Under
 Australian law, a purchaser of 20% of a company’s stock is obliged to make a
 takeover bid to all remaining stockholders. By sitting at 19.9%, Bolton

Iyah...  bandel-bandel...  he he..

Saya coba deh...
1. Stapled product yang dibeli investor ternyata bukan saham saja...  tapi 
ekuity plus kewajiban. Artinya pemegang saham harus memberikan uang tambahan 
kepada perusahaan. Bagaimana meletakkan situasi ini secara akuntansi bila 
kondisinya seperti ini. Off balance sheet asset dimiliki oleh Perusahaan? 
Penegakan hukumnya seperti apa? Tentunya pemegang saham yang mangkir bayar 
apakah menjadi napi-napi dan rutan kerah putih? 

2. Si Nick Lick bin Licik malah bisa merubah kondisi hampir masuk penjara ini 
supaya dapat uang. Alih-alih keluar duit buat dikasih ke perusahaan, dia malah 
terima duit...  lho?
