Murdered by Melrose for GKN's " Building a Gear Giant "

Melrose's acquisition of GKN began in January this year. After a series of serious losses caused the stock price crash at GKN’s American Airlines plant, Melrose took the opportunity to issue a bid for £7 billion and described GKN as an “unregulated and poorly managed organization” with insufficient shareholder returns. GKN’s board quickly responded by saying that Melrose’s offer was “completely opportunistic” and “fundamentally underestimated the company and its development prospects.”

Not only that, in order to stop Melrose’s hostile takeover, GKN also plans to spin off its aviation and automotive businesses. In early March, GKN announced that it will merge with Dana’s auto business and both parties will jointly establish Dana Corporation. It is understood that this transaction was initiated by Dana, with a total amount of up to US$6.1 billion (approximately RMB 38.6 billion) and is expected to be completed in the second half of 2018.

Although GKN had just established an alliance with Dana to fight against the acquisition of Melorose, it was reported that "Melrose had obtained a narrow acquisition of GKN." Originally, after the purchase was subjected to strong opposition from the GKN Board of Directors, Melrose turned his gaze directly to the GKN shareholders and raised the offer to 7.4 billion pounds in order to put pressure on the new CEO of GKN, Anne Stevens. In the end, with the help of capital, many shareholders became tempted and decided to accept Melrose's acquisition of GKN. This three-month long tug of war started.

However, in view of GKN’s provision of military aircraft components including the Lockheed F-35B fighter aircraft for the United Kingdom, the reorganization of the acquisition may be subject to intervention at the national level, which means that the fate of GKN will ultimately be in his hands. Not yet finalized...
