Across the Australian Equity component of investor portfolios (Growth Tilt), we have sold Domain (ASX: DHG). Domain is an Australian online real estate listings and agent services provider.
An offer of $4.20 was made for DHG last night by CoStar Group (NASDAQ: CSGP). In addition to the takeover offer, we received a proposal to acquire shares from CoStar at the takeover price, which we accepted.
We decided to exit the position for the following reasons:
- The proposed offer price was elevated relative to our forecast valuation
- An adequate control premium is being offered
- There is uncertainty around any further competing offers and the risk of the offering falling through
Proceeds from the sale of DHG will be re-deployed across the portfolio in time.
