Q: Hello 5i Team

The following companies have take over proposals in place:

ACI - offer of $33.50 closing price March 19 of $31.93
NVU.un - offer of $36.25 closing price March 19 of $27.08

Questions are:
1 - what are the likelihood of these transaction to close?
2 - are there other potential opportunities in the market that may be attractive?
3 - the Northview transaction looks attractive, given the distribution was never cut in the 2015/2016 oil downturn (although the share price went down to $16).

Thank you

Q: Does ALA still own 37% of ACI? If so, I would it would appear that ALA will do quite well on today's announced sale of ACI - your comments are much appreciated re: ALA exceeding current years sales target and debt position after the sale. Thank you.

Q: Hi, I’am down 5.90% on INE and was thinking of switching to ACI for better growth. I would lose $2000 on the trade, so would like your opinion for a 3+ year hold of ACI. Do you think It would be worth while or too close to call,and may just be spinning my wheels.
Thanks

Q: Hi, I currently own SPB and INE and down on both.
If you sold one, which one would you sell?
Also looking to buy a stock for income and a little growth but would like 4%. Would you consider ACI or could you recommend another, sector is not a big issue.
Thanks

Q: I assume ALA spun out ACI to reduce debt. Given the positive recommendations on ACI while ALA shares continue to decline, it appears to be short gain for long term pain. Thus, I am confused as to why ALA did this. Also, with ALA in the doldrums, would it make sense to take my loss in ALA and buy ACI? Or should I stick with ALA for greater rebound potential?

Q: Further to my previous question on ACI, as the company holds Cdn drop down pipeline assets of ALA would you generally view the dividend as more secure than ALA’s? Also, how would you compare ACI vs RNW in terms of dividend security and growth profile as both are Cdn drop down companies. Which is more attractive? Thanks.
