On 30 March, Silver Wheaton (SLW) announced a bought deal whereby a syndicate of underwriters would buy 30,125,000 common shares in the company at a price of US$16.60/share for aggregate gross proceeds of c US$500m plus an over-allotment option of a further 4,518,000 shares at the same price for proceeds of an additional c US$75m. One day later, on 31 March, the deal size was increased by 10% pro rata and it closed on 7 April (at which point SLW also took the opportunity to close its normal course issuer bid). On 11 April, the over-allotment option was exercised in full to bring total aggregate proceeds to US$632.5m. This note updates Edison’s forecasts for FY16 by quarter and valuation in the light of the increased number of shares in issue and decreased forecast net debt.
