Statement from INEOS on the acquisition of Chelsea FC
Friday, April 29, 2022
Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Chairman of INEOS, has made a formal bid for Chelsea
FC, for £4.25bn. £2.5bn is committed to the Charitable Trust to support
victims of the war, with £1.75bn committed to investment directly into
the club over the next 10 years.
This is a British bid, for a British club.
We believe that a club is bigger than its owners who are temporary
custodians of a great tradition. With responsibility to the fans and the
community.
That is why we are committing to spending £1.75bn over 10 years that will
be for the direct benefit of the club.
We will invest in Stamford Bridge to make it a world-class stadium,
befitting of Chelsea FC.
This will be organic and on-going so that we will not move away from the
home of Chelsea and risk losing the support of loyal fans.
We will continue to invest in the team to ensure we have a first class
squad of the world's greatest players, coaches and support staff, in the
men's and women's games.
And we hope to continue to invest in the academy to provide opportunity
for talented youngsters to develop into first class players.
We believe that London should have a club that reflects the stature of the
city. One that is held in the same regard as Real Madrid, Barcelona or
Bayern Munich. We intend Chelsea to be that club.
We are making this investment as fans of the beautiful game – not as a
means to turn a profit. We do that with our core businesses. The club is
rooted in its community and its fans. And it is our intention to invest in
Chelsea FC for that reason.
No further comment will be made from Sir Jim or INEOS during the bidding
process.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe: "We put an offer in this morning. We are the only
British bid. Our motives are simply to try and create a very fine club in
London. We have no profit motive because we make our money in other ways."

Chelsea sale has taken a huge twist with a 4.25m offer from Jim Ratcliffe.
There was always talk of a fifth 'mystery' bidder but Raine played this
down. The offer will be billed as 'last minute' but has been planned (but
not tabled) since late March.
However, Ratcliffe has still bypassed the process a little and jumped
straight to the final stage. Steve Pagliuca is out the running. The Martin
Broughton bid has failed, too, with partial loan-funding behind the
financing seen as a negative.
The Boehly bid is still best-positioned to be the preferred bidder. But as
of now they have NOT entered into exclusive talks (yet) or been told they
are the preferred bidder. Ratcliffe's bid has clearly complicated matters.

The Boehly bid were only told around an hour ago (about 12 ET) they were
the preferred bidder. However, they have been confident for weeks. They
are surprised and confused by the Ratcliffe bid but don't see it as cause
for concern as they look to complete the sale before May 31.

By Matt Slater - Apr 30, 2022
The Athletic 從消息源得知,拉特克里夫這個報價是直接交給切爾西管理層的,
而不是雷恩集團。在這家美國商業銀行宣佈伯利勝出數小時後,他們似乎不知道拉特
克里夫出價的細節。公平地說,拉特克里夫的聲明中沒有太多細節 — 它更像是一份
使命聲明,而不是一份全額資助的合約 — 但毫無疑問,他們沒有預見到這一點。
The Athletic 得知拉特克里夫本週才決定加入競爭,但他已經迅速行動,準備
提出他認為最具吸引力的報價。例如,他已經與英國政府進行了溝通,英國政府對這
筆交易擁有否決權。據了解他本週一直在倫敦,可能是在與幫助他的銀行人士交談。
不過,他還沒有找到時間對任何球迷群體談話。
一位與拉特克里夫打過交道的消息人士表示:“如果拉特克里夫真的想贏,他就
能贏,因為他將得到英力士的支持,而且他可以增加企業信貸額度,為此次收購提供
資金。和他不同,伯利和其他人必須與他們組織的成員打交道。”
英力士去年的稅後利潤為17億英鎊。毫無疑問拉特克里夫可以負擔得起切爾西,
他也有信心在幾天內完成這筆交易。畢竟時間是短暫的,切爾西之所以能繼續參加各
項賽事是因為他們得到了特許經營,它將在五月底到期。
所以理論上,拉特克里夫還有時間,但前提是雷恩集團願意告訴其他幾家競購方
這筆錢是來自英國最富有的體育迷的42.5億英鎊,而這位體育迷恰好是一位支持英國
脫歐、揮舞著旗幟的愛國者。

Sir Jim Ratcliffe's last-minute bid for Chelsea FC has received serious
consideration in the race to buy the Stamford Bridge club, the PA news
agency understands.
Todd Boehly's consortium is understood to remain on course to be confirmed
as the preferred bidder and then handed the opportunity to seal a Stamford
Bridge takeover.
Stamford Bridge bosses had not expected Ratcliffe to make such a late,
dramatic entrance into the race however, with the British tycoon
understood to have met with Blues chairman Bruce Buck on Thursday.

https://twitter.com/JacobsBen/status/1520345545268772864
下午6:13 · 2022年4月30日
Pagliuca's plans for renovating Stamford Bridge lacked a clear roadmap and
no written confirmation of if/how he planned to scale back Atalanta was
provided. A public statement reaffirming his commitment only provided more
questions.
Broughton's bid required partial funding via loans. This counted against
the bid in a decision based on fine margins. The “celebritizion” (as one
Raine source put it) of the bid wasn't well received either and was seen
as a move to turn the sale into a popularity contest.

https://twitter.com/JacobsBen/status/1520345548041117698
https://twitter.com/JacobsBen/status/1520345550108905473
But above all else, Boehly's bid just stood out. One of the reasons why is
because, in each area suitors were asked to focus on, the group provided
real experts.
The bid is a collective effort with Clearlake the majority owner but a
range of impressive voices inputting. Behdad Eghbali is pretty hands on
and engaged. He's a big football fan also. But Boehly, as minority owner,
plans to assume day to day control.
Jonny Goldstein (and the support of David Hickey) really impressed
Chelsea. As previously reported, the Boehly group always had the strongest
and most detailed plans for the redevelopment of Stamford Bridge. They
have been confident for weeks of winning.

https://twitter.com/JacobsBen/status/1520345554345209860
Jim Ratcliffe's last-minute £4.25bn bid took Boehly, and the two failed
suitors, by surprise. Ratcliffe initially expressed interest in March but
then decided not to formally bid. Last week he then saw a window of
opportunity as the sale dragged on.
Interestingly, sources tell me Ratcliffe bypassed Raine, and by dealing
directly with Chelsea was confident in entering the race. He has not to
date been told his bid is too late. But Chelsea will prioritise Boehly
meaning Ratcliffe has a lot out of his control.
Two other points which are key: Ratcliffe bid isn't astronomically higher
than Boehly's since price includes charitable donation. And Ratcliffe,
like Pagliuca with Atalanta, must address ownership of Nice. That makes
completing a CFC sale in days (as he says he can) unlikely.
https://twitter.com/JacobsBen/status/1520345555867684865
https://twitter.com/JacobsBen/status/1520345557247705088
Ratcliffe's offer clearly puts pressure on Boehly to wrap up l sale
quickly. And it's clear Chelsea and Abramovich (who failed to agree a
price with Ratcliffe in 2019) are open to abandoning the formal sale
process and considering 'rogue' bids if it doesn't work out with Boehly.
But to again reiterate, Boehly is the preferred bidder and the group is
confident that Ratcliffe's offer won't affect anything. They have always
said, if selected, they see no reason why they can't complete the sale
before Chelsea's special license expires on May 31.

-reassurance-over-investors-12603467
Mark Kleinman - Sunday 1 May 2022 17:14, UK
Sources close to the consortium, which is spearheaded by Todd Boehly, the
LA Dodgers part-owner, said it had offered a total price that was slightly
higher than the £4.25bn publicly pledged by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the
chemicals tycoon who tried to gatecrash the auction on Friday.
An insider suggested that Sir Jim and his Ineos group would need to table
a substantially higher offer in order to persuade Mr Abramovich and his
advisers to stand a chance of entering negotiations about a deal.
The Premier League is said to be "advanced" in its scrutiny of the
Clearlake consortium under its Owners And Directors Test, with questions
now submitted to the group relating to the final financial structure of
the takeover and the precise stakes that would be owned by each of the
investors.
Mr Boehly's bid would see voting rights shared equally between him and
California-based Clearlake. Clearlake, which has no direct ownership
pedigree in major sports assets, would own a majority of the shares in
Chelsea, Sky News revealed last week.
One person close to the process said it was likely that two separate
licences would ultimately be issued by the government: one to implement
the transaction itself, and the other to release the proceeds of the sale.

Chelsea Supporters' Trust confirm they have held talks with Sir Jim
Ratcliffe and his team but say no further meeting scheduled. Dom Rosso,
CST vice-chair, said: “While the CST has had initial talks with Sir Jim
Ratcliffe and his team, no further meeting is yet in the diary.”
It seems Ratcliffe is trying to position himself in case there is an
11th-hour hitch during the exclusivity period with the Boehly bid or if
Chelsea have a dramatic late change of heart.
This all seems very dramatic but I am told that at least one of the other
two consortiums remain on standby in case the Boehly bid breaks down,
which you would expect given all the work they put in.

If Boehly's bid somehow collapses, there's expectations from both
Broughton and Pagliuca that they get brought back in. This is instead of
Sir Jim Ratfcliffe who has circumvented Raine's structured process with a
late approach directly to Chelsea. It all feels a little bit messy.

The sale of Chelsea has hit a serious obstacle over fears that
Russian-born owner Roman Abramovich is attempting to renege on his promise
to write off a £1.6 billion debt.
It is understood that Chelsea told the government — as well as the rival
bidding groups — last week that they want to restructure the way the club
is being sold, which would include paying off the debt from Chelsea's
parent company Fordstam Ltd to a Jersey-based company Camberley
International Investments, which appears to be linked to Abramovich.
Government insiders are increasingly concerned about whether the deal will
be done in time to safeguard Chelsea's future and ability to compete next
season.

下午11:09 · 2022年5月3日
If Roman Abramovich now wants his £1.6bn loan paid back as @TimesSport is
reporting, then Chelsea have a huge existential problem. UK Govt have
always insisted this can't/won't happen.
Clock is ticking on May 31st deadline but it's more serious than a complex
delay. The Premier League meet on June 8th to constitute the new league
for 22-23. If Chelsea aren't licensed to operate by then - and they are
only licensed now on UK Govt sufferance - then they can't be part of PL.
Simples…

https://twitter.com/draper_rob/status/1521507194893647873
If Abramovich thinks UK Govt will blink because they don't want to see
Chelsea fold/go into administration, then he's gambling hugely on Govt's
malleability. (A good bet, you might say). But be in no doubt, if he
wants debts repaid, Chelsea future is at stake with clock ticking
An aside: Intriguing how last-minute Ratcliffe bid mimicked the
Abramovich's language. Ratcliffe wants proceeds to go to 'Charitable Trust
to support victims of the war'. Abramovich initially wanted to set up
foundation 'for the benefit of all victims of the war in Ukraine'. Almost
as tho bid was tailor-made to be what Abramovich wanted
And yet all along it's been clear neither Roman, not Ratcliffe get to
decide where that money goes. It's for UK Govt to decide. IF Roman agrees
to sale. Right now, that's a sizeable IF…
https://twitter.com/draper_rob/status/1521513301603241985
https://twitter.com/draper_rob/status/1521513303406751745
Imagine if it came down to May 30th and there was genuine chance Chelsea
could fold but somehow a Ratcliffe bid could save the day if only the UK
Govt agreed to a let the proceeds to an independent charitable foundation?
Well, that would be better than letting Chelsea fold…
And who could object, if this war comes to a close and politics changes,
to Roman Abramovich being trustee of that foundation? That way we could
see Roman as the true humanitarian he is, rather than the sanctioned Putin
crony who gained his wealth 'easy to rig auction'
https://twitter.com/Matt_Law_DT/status/1521510618729168897
下午11:22 · 2022年5月3日
Basically, it feels fairly clear that the Govt won't be extending that May
31 deadline - certainly not to examine where a loan may or may not be
going following a change of plan at Abramovich's end. Assuming, of course,
there has been a change of plan

My understanding on Chelsea bid is that owners' + directors' test has been

(tho that hasn't been confirmed, it's just my best guess). So really
Boehly bid is good to go if Roman + UK Govt give

Tom Crotty, director of communications + corporate affairs at INEOS, has
confirmed to me this morning that Raine have told Jim Ratcliffe that his
11th-hour bid for Chelsea is not currently part of the process, but has
also confirmed Ratcliffe is refusing to give up. Story later

Exclusive by @Tom_Morgs and @Matt_Law_DT: Chelsea sale could be smoothed
by 'Brexit-style backstop' to solve loan impasse
Sources close to Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich say it was never his
intention to leave the government with the impression he wanted to repay
the loan to himself but the dispute seems to surround whether the UK can
legally freeze the loan.
It was suggested a change in approach may have been triggered by
authorities in Jersey swooping two weeks ago to target Camberley
International Investments, an offshore account which is believed to be
linked to Abramovich.
The Premier League has already carried out background checks on Todd
Boehly and would be able to sign off the deal in a matter of days when an
agreement is reached.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe will re-submit his Chelsea bid if Todd Boehly doesn't
complete his takeover in the period of exclusivity - despite being told to
"forget it" by Raine.
Worth adding the Boehly group are progressing step by step and the
expectation remains they will complete. Ratcliffe chances rest on
something going wrong or Chelsea performing a big U-turn and even then he
might not get into the process. Pagliuca and Broughton bids on standby.

The Ratcliffe bid can't force their way into the process solely by
criticising Clearlake or other aspects of their 'rival' bid. Clearlake as
majority owner was always Boehly and Wyss' plan. They see value in
minority ownership.
There is clearly a broader debate to be had over private equity firms
owning clubs. But Clearlake have made a commitment until at least 2032 so
can hardly be accused of entering with short-term goals. Behdad Eghbali is
going to be highly engaged if the group is successful.

Tom Crotty, director of communications and corporate affairs at INEOS who
has worked with Ratcliffe for 20 years, said: "We've had an email to say
'forget it, you're not in the process'. But we're not giving up because we
believe what we've got is a bid that makes good sense."

Matt Lawton, Martyn Ziegler - Wednesday May 04 2022, 8.30pm BST
They were dismayed to be told last week that Abramovich now wanted to
restructure the purchase agreement, with a requirement for Chelsea's
parent company, Fordstam, to pay off the debt held in trust at the
Jersey-based Camberley. But sources close to the process have told The
Times that the sale can be completed with no money being paid to Camberley
until the government is satisfied none of the £1.6 billion will go to
Abramovich or his beneficiaries.
Instead, more than £2.5 billion for the purchase of the club will be paid
to the government, allowing ministers to donate £1 billion to the Ukraine
crisis. The remainder will be held until other issues with the trust are
resolved.
Both the Boehly group and Chelsea were confident on Wednesday night of the
government issuing a licence for the completion of the sale, even though a
solution to the loan problem has not been found.

Boehly-Clearlake takeover of Chelsea is now very close to completion.
Raine sources tell me Wednesday talks were “highly productive and no
alternative options are being explored.”Sources within Boehly-Clearlake
say they've remained “calm” and are confident they will own CFC.
The handling of Abramovich's 1.6bn in loans has provided some late drama.
Boehly-Clearlake bid initially presumed a debt-free purchase. If funds
covering debt are frozen by the government then 1.6bn will remain in limbo
for now. That will be enough to complete a sale by May 31.
This plan doesn't fully resolve the debt (the original hope). But it does
suspend it and allow a sale to go through. It will be interesting to see
what happens if/when sanctions against Abramovich are lifted.
Boehly-Clearlake, like Broughton, were never prepared to engage (or pay)
Camberley. The main reason is because they couldn't do any due diligence
and be sure who the money would go to.
