A shareholder fight over the 407 underscores the contention by some investors and analysts that SNC-Lavalin did not obtain a high premium for the toll road

SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. on Friday announced a fresh spate of problems in its plan to sell a coveted 10-per cent stake in the 407 toll road, including a bill for tens of millions of dollars and litigation.

That two funds would step up to match the purchase offer underscores the contention by some investors and analysts that SNC-Lavalin did not obtain a high premium for the toll road, which has provided a reliable and growing stream of cash. The company, which is operating at the edge of its loan covenants, has said it will use proceeds from the sale to pay down debt and insisted that regardless of the litigation, the sale would close by late June.SNC said that all parties have agreed to an expedited process with a hearing scheduled for June 21, and a ruling expected shortly thereafter.

“Unless somehow they can turnaround the stock and convince or show some solid results, I think management’s ability to remain in place is very questionable,” said Michael Willemse, an analyst with Taylor Asset Management and investor, adding his firm owns less than two per cent of the company.
