~7% 'free' return in three weeks. Long Kinnevik redemption shares / short Zalando.
I hope you won't consider this as unnecessarily taking up vic space, but I thought I would share this trade.
Trade
Kinnevik (KINVB SS) recently distributed its ~21% stake in Zalando (ZAL GY) to Kinnevik shareholders.
Each Kinnevik shareholder received 1 redemption share Kinnevik (KINVILB SS / SE0015797600) (1 redemption share per Kinnevik share).
The redemption shares are tradable as of today until June 9, 2021 (3 weeks) and will ultimately be redeemed for 0.195 shares Zalando.
The redemption shares have been sold off today perhaps due to market circumstances or funds not allowed to own 'transition' shares. Whatever the reaons, at current prices the redemption shares provide ~7% gross upside over the next three weeks.
Trade involves going long the redemption shares and short Zalando (at the appropriate ratio).
The shares are very liquid (at least today wrt the redemption shares) so the trade can be done in size.
