Santos Value on offer Event

STO advised that it has rejected an indicative, highly conditional and non-

binding proposal from Scepter Partners to acquire the company for a cash

consideration of A$6.88/sh (representing a 26% premium to last close and a

more material 29% premium to 1 month VWAP).

Impact

A fairly opportunistic offer: At A$6.88/sh, we estimate this implies an oil

price discounted by core and risked NAV of ~U$59/bbl and U$54/bbl, which

compares to longer-term futures curve at U$64/bbl and our LT normalised

assumption of U$80/bbl. Indeed STO also suggested that it did not reflect the

"fair value of the asset base", let alone a premium for control. While offers for

OSH would likely attract a premium vs. STO (given the differing quality of

assets, growth prospects, balance sheet position, etc), a comparison of

Scepter’s offer vs. WPL initial offer for OSH perhaps highlights the

opportunistic nature of the Scepter proposal. Indeed we estimate that the

pricing terms imply a 15-50% discount to WPL’s offer for OSH (based on 1

month VWAP prior to the disturbed price) based on various valuation metrics.

Conditions could have also proved challenging: Despite the Board’s

quick decision to reject the offer, we believe that this decision would have

been better communicated if the formal conditions were also released (as was

the case with WPL’s offer for OSH). Nonetheless, it would be fair to assume

that the conditions included the typical “no shop, no talk”, exclusivity, subject

to financing and due diligence provisions. While the bidder appears well

funded, any clauses surrounding exclusivity could hamper ongoing asset

sales over an extended due diligence process. With no guarantees

surrounding a potential transaction post due diligence, agreeing to the offer

would significantly narrow STO’s options and leave the company exposed.

Asset sales appear the preferred option: With indicative offers for asset-

levels also likely received (with the press reporting that initial offers could be

announced in early November), we believe that the Board’s decision reflects

the level of interest that has been received regarding specific assets. In our

recent note, STO - No assets are sacred, we highlighted those potential asset

scenarios and how the residual business could look. With the industry willing

to buy assets at the forward curve and with STO reportedly receiving plenty of

interest in asset sales, we continue to see this as the more favourable option

to expose the value of STO’s asset base. That said, if Scepter were to

increase their offer by a mere 10% to ~A$7.58/sh, we believe such an offer

could not as easily be dismissed as opportunistic by the STO Board

(particularly if concessions were made surrounding specific conditions).

Value on offer

STO advised that it has rejected an indicative, highly conditional and non-binding proposal from

Scepter Partners to acquire the company for a cash consideration of A$6.88/sh, representing a

26% premium to last close and a more material 39% premium to 1 month VWAP (which compares

to WPL’s offer for OSH at a ~26% premium on a similar basis).

Fig 1 The offer price represents a 26% premium to the last close, but a more material 39% premium to the one month VWAP (significant higher than WPL’s 26% premium offered for OSH).

Fig 2 We continue to believe asset sales remain a better alternative for STO than the current Scepter offer (with both involving leakage of value to an external party).

Source: Macquarie Research, October 2015 Source: Macquarie Research, October 2015

Surprisingly STO did not disclose the conditions surrounding the offer. While the Board was

quick to reject the offer as opportunistic in nature, we believe that this decision would have

been better communicated if the formal conditions were also released (as was the case with

WPL’s confidential, conditional and non binding offer for OSH via a scrip scheme of

arrangement merger). Nonetheless, it would be fair to assume that the conditions would

include the typical “no shop, no talk”, exclusivity, subject to financing and due diligence

provisions. While the bidder appears well funded, any potentially clauses surrounding

exclusivity could hamper ongoing asset sales over the extended due diligence process.

Indeed, with the initial offer formed on limited public information (and possibly a management

briefing) further due diligence would shed further light on STO’s contractual positions,

remediation obligations, reserves quality or litigation liabilities (to name a few), with concerns

over any combination of these factors derailing the process. With no guarantees surrounding

a potential transaction post due diligence, agreeing to the offer would significantly narrow

STO’s options and leave the company exposed if the transaction were to not complete.

Indeed the A$6.88/sh offer price seemingly does incorporate the inherent risks hence the

Board’s decision to reject the offer.

With indicative offers for asset-levels also likely received (with the press reporting that initial

offers could be announced in early November), we believe that the Board’s decision to reject

this offer not only reflects the opportunistic pricing terms, but also the level of interest that has

been received regarding specific assets. In our recent note, STO - No assets are sacred, we

highlighted those potential asset scenarios and how the residual business could look. With the

industry willing to buy assets at the forward curve and with STO reportedly receiving plenty of

interest in asset sales, we continue to see this as the more favourable option to expose the

value of STO’s asset base. That said, if Scepter were to increase their offer by a mere 10% to

~A$7.58/sh, we believe such an offer could not as easily be dismissed as opportunistic by the

STO Board (particularly if concessions were made surrounding specific conditions).

At A$6.88/sh, we estimate this implies an oil price discounted by core and risked NAV of

~U$59/bbl and U$54/bbl, which compares to longer-term futures curve at U$64/bbl and our LT

normalised assumption of U$80/bbl. Indeed STO also suggested that it did not reflect the "fair

value of the asset base", let alone a premium for control. While offers for OSH would likely

disturbed price) based on various valuation metrics.

Fig 3 Scepter’s offer seemingly looks even more opportunistic than WPL’s offer for OSH, with the implied discount on various valuation metrics ranging from 15-50%.

Who is the bidder?

The bidder, Scepter Partners, is a Bermuda-based merchant bank and direct investment syndicate

for sovereign wealth led by the former Blackstone Advisor Partners Asian team. The group sponsors

the acquisition of large cap strategic assets with a focus on natural resources, infrastructure, real

estate and media/telecom (STO seems to tick two of these boxes).The core stakeholders include

high net worth senior members of Asian and Gulf-based ruling families (reportedly include ruling

families in Brunei and UAE). Scepter highlights that it invests with a long-term horizon, providing

businesses with capital to realise growth potential – indeed STO are seemingly in need of both.

With funds only recently allocated to the bidding party from high net worth individuals we

would expect that Scepter Partners remain keen to impress their key stakeholders with their

foundation transaction. Furthermore, with the key stakeholders supporting Scepter well known

(and publicised), we would suspect that management of Scepter (including Anthony Steains

the current CEO) would be keen to highlight their transaction experience to these

stakeholders. Consequently we do believe this is a creditable (albeit conditional) offer.

In mid-September the Board of Scepter stakeholders (led by HH Price Abdul Ali Kabier of

Brunei) allocated U$14b of discretionary assets. Scepter also claim that its key stakeholders

have net worth in excess of A$100bn, suggesting that the bidder is well funded.

STO always screened as the most obvious takeover target

In our recent note, Australian Energy Sector - The next M&A cycle set to commence, we painted a

picture of growing M&A against the backdrop of lower-for-longer oil prices. While we did not

necessarily believe that any of the locally listed large-cap E&P stocks were takeover targets in their

own right, we have now seen offers for two of the three stocks, namely STO and OSH. That said we

have always screened STO as the most obvious takeover target from a valuation perspective, albeit

there were stock specific challenges (namely the long-tail of assets).

Source: Macquarie Research, October 2015

Adopting average transaction metrics for gas-weighted transactions over the last five years

and making adjustments for the developed reserves base we estimate that the average

implied takeover premium vs. current share prices for Australian Energy stocks is merely 14%

- barely enough to build in a control premium. Indeed, as has historically been the case, STO

appears the only plausible takeover with the implied takeover price 70% above the current

share price.

STO continues to have a long-tail of assets which has historically dissuaded potential suitors

attracted to specific assets. However, with the offer price ascribing value for only STO’s five

most valuable assets under Macquarie assumptions (but closer to 20 assets under the

forward curve) and with the A&D market becoming more liquid, a risk-seeking buyer (such as

Scepter) could back itself to restructure STO’s portfolio (whether it be through asset sales or

carve-outs), leaving it with the most valuable assets.

Asset sales still the preferred option

With indicative offers for asset-levels also likely received (with the press reporting that initial offers

could be announced in early November), we believe that the Board’s decision to reject this offer not

only reflects the opportunistic pricing terms, but also the level of interest that has been received

regarding specific assets. In our recent note, STO - No assets are sacred, we highlighted those

potential asset scenarios and how the residual business could look. With the industry willing to buy

assets at the forward curve and with STO reportedly receiving plenty of interest in asset sales, we

continue to see this as the more favourable option to expose the value of STO’s asset base.

Focusing on NAV and FCF yields even adjusting for the additional equity required in instances

where there is a funding shortfall, we estimate that the implied TERP is at up to a 9% discount

to post asset sale/equity raising core NAV or 25% discount to risked NAV, with a sale of PNG

LNG delivering the largest discount. Nonetheless a sale of the highest margin businesses

(PNG LNG and WA&NT) hits 2017 FCF yields, despite the limited additional equity required

with 2017 yields falling to 11.3% and 10.6% respectively

Fig 7 Assuming each asset sale in isolation (and any equity issuance to resolve the shortfall) we estimate the TERP is still at up to a 25% discount to our post asset sale/equity issuance risked NAV

Fig 8 However minimising the requirement for equity through asset sales comes at a cost in term of FCF yields (albeit with STO still offering healthy yields on a post asset sale & post money basis)

Source: Macquarie Research, October 2015 Source: Macquarie Research, October 2015

Sale of producing assets will have an obvious impact on pro-forma production, EBITDA,

NPAT and FCF. While this could rebase the size of the business lower, as the executive

chairman Peter Coates has articulated, the focus of the strategic review is to “restore and

maximise shareholder value” not preserve production for the sake of maximising the scale of

the business. Indeed we would argue that the market is far more focused on STO’s balance

sheet and preserving the value of the asset base, rather than retaining a production base.

Fig 9 Assuming assets sales and a shortfall raising the STO business will look difference, however the focus should remain on the balance sheet and value creation, not necessarily headline production and earnings
