  • Redstone Commodity Update Q3
    Welcome to the Redstone Commodity Update 2020: Q3 Welcome to the Redstone Commodity Moves Update Q3 2020, another quarter in a year that has been strongly defined by the pandemic. Overall recruitment levels across the board are still down, although we have seen some pockets of hiring intent. There appears to be a general acknowledgement across all market segments that growth must still be encouraged and planned for, this has taken the form in some quite senior / structural moves. The types of hires witnessed tend to pre-empt more mid-junior levels hires within the same companies in following quarters, which leaves us predicting a stronger than expected finish to Q4 2020 and start to Q1 2021 than we had previously planned for coming out of Q2. The highest volume of moves tracked fell to the energy markets, notably, within power and gas and not within the traditional oil focused roles, overall, we are starting to see greater progress towards carbon neutrality targets. Banks such as ABN, BNP and SocGen have all reduced / pulled out providing commodity trade finance, we can expect competition for the acquiring of finance lines to heat up in the coming months until either new lenders step into the market or more traditional lenders swallow up much of the market. We must also be aware of the potential impact of the US elections on global trade as countries such as Great Britain and China (amongst others) await the outcome of the impending election. Many national trade strategies and corporate investment strategies will hinge on this result in a way that no previous election has.

  • Most Environmentally and Socially Controversial Companies of 2010 Zurich, December 15, 2010 / Karen Reiner
    Most Environmentally and Socially Controversial Companies of 2010 Zurich, December 15, 2010 / Karen Reiner According to the reputational risk radar RepRisk, the top ten most environmentally and socially controversial multinational companies in 2010 were: 1. Transocean Ltd 6. Chevron Corp 2. BP PLC 7. BG Group PLC 3. Vedanta Resources PLC 8. Royal Dutch Shell 4. ExxonMobil Corp 9. Sinar Mas Group 5. Foxconn Electronics Inc 10. Magyar Aluminium (MAL) Companies on the list have been severely criticized by the world’s media, governmental organizations and NGOs for issues including human rights abuses, severe environmental violations, impacts on local communities, corruption and bribery, as well as breaches of labor, and health and safety standards. Rankings are based on the Reputational Risk Index (RRI), as measured by RepRisk throughout 2010. The RRI is directly derived from the negative pr ess captured by RepRisk and its calculation is strictly rule-based. RepRisk does not measure a firm's overall reputation. Instead, by capturing criticism, RepRisk computes a firm's exposure to controversy and therefore provides an indicator for reputational risk. RepRisk is used by asset owners and asset managers, commercial and investment bankers, supply chain managers, and corporate responsibility experts. The Reputational Risk Index (RRI) ranges from zero (lowest) to 100 (highest) and its calculation is based on the reach of news sources, the frequency and timing of news, as well as its content, i.e. severity and novelty of the issues addressed. The RRI is an indicator of a company's exposure to controversial issues and allows an initial assessment of risks that are attached to investments and business relationships.

  • (Volcan) and Vedanta Resources Limit
    Further Clarification in relation to the transaction with Volcan Volcan Investments Limited (Volcan) and Vedanta Resources Limited, the parent companies of Vedanta Limited, holding more than 50%, have played a significant role in shaping and building Vedanta Limited businesses in a visionary and entrepreneurial manner. Volcan owns a 21% stake (voting interest) in Anglo American Plc (AA Plc). AA Plc is a globally diversified mining business that comprises of De Beers (largest diamond producer), copper, platinum and other precious metals, iron ore, coal and nickel. Cairn India Holdings Limited (CIHL), an overseas subsidiary of the Company, was offered the opportunity by Volcan to invest some of its surplus cash resources in a structured investment representing the economic interest in upside potential of ~24.71 million shares (~1.8% of outstanding shares) of AA Plc. The structure provides significantly higher returns compared to other overseas cash management investments that would typically return around 2%. After careful consideration of the risk adjusted returns of this opportunity relative to other available investments, it elected to invest a portion (which is less than 5% of Group’s cash and cash equivalent of around US$5.0bn) of its available cash resources, as part of its cash management activity. The ownership of the underlying shares, and the associated voting interest, remains with Volcan. The investment now has full capital and downside protection to ensure that the interests of Vedanta Limited shareholders’ are protected. The investment was made on an arm’s length basis in December 2018, after meeting all governance requirements. The economic interest was valued by an independent valuer and approved by the boards of CIHL and Vedanta Ltd.

(India). Page 2 of 43 International Diversification through Acquisition: Fundamentals and Estimations of Vedanta buyout of Cairn India Abstract Corporate valuations, financial strength in cash flows and opening up of debt facility favour more overseas acquisitions. Historically, corporate restructuring is a strategic, mechanized and chemical formula for achieving external growth to become a globalized diverse company. The phenomenon of ‘diversification’ is not new, where it was born in the timeline of the Kings. Markets are becoming highly connective, accessible, communicative and are reaching maturity at a very high phase. Acquisition is a choice to enhance the emerging and diversified markets. This case- based research study presents a case discussion, case analysis and opinion based inference on Vedanta – Cairn India cross-border acquisition deal in Indian oil and exploration industry. We also suggest a new forecasting model to estimate future free cash flows and firm valuation in the upcoming research field of corporate finance. The study exclusively shows reaction of stocks against acquisition announcement and compares with market performance.
