Q: Hi 5i Research team,
How confident are you that the deal to acquire CLR will close (Mi’kmaq and PBH have already the financing in place)? I know it is higher than zero, but what is the probability of a higher deal by another group of buyer (probably very very low with the constraints of Canadian ownership of quotas)? As the deal is expected to close in the first half of 2021: at what price would you be an immediate seller in a margin account?
Thank you for your collaboration, Eric

Q: Clearwater Seafoods recently issued a press release indicating that they were evaluating strategic alternatives, among which I believe could be the sale and privatization of the company. In the event that CLR is sold and goes private, what suggestions would you have in the consumer staples sector to replace this investment?

Q: Hello 5i team,
Following PBH recent buy of ALLSEAS FISHERIES, do you think it increases or decreases the probability of PBH buying CLR? CLR could now be a good fit to increase vertical integration of their increasing seafood business. CLR maximisation of shareholder’s value process seems to be stretching over a long period. Do you see it as a bad sign, or simply a sign of a complicated process due to rules on Canadian ownership of quotas? What is your guess probability that CLR is ending up being bought? Is a combination with High Liner a good/natural fit? Which Canadian companies do you perceive as potential buyers?
Thank you for your collaboration, Eric

Q: Each of these Canadian companies is in the dumpster. How would you rank them as a buy with fresh money for a reasonable chance of recovery and why ?

Many thanks

Q: For the first few months of ownership I was making a few clams with this company but now I’ve been underwater so long I’m running out of air. Does current valuation suggest I might want to refill the tanks or should I just swim away.
It dropped substantially last year when the government announced it would grant a licence for 25 per cent of the total allowable catch of Arctic surf clam (taking away CLR’s monopoly). It seems to be falling today on the same news, except that the winner of that 25% allowance has now been identified. Is it an over-reaction?

Q: Your thoughts on CLR and HLF as they settle down after not so good results. Also, when is the period of greatest tax loss selling and how much would you let it influence buying and selling opportunities particularly in TFSA and RRSP accounts?
