Over 19% of issued shares seem to have be sold today looking at volumes traded. A done deal for sure. Looking at the history of CPH it seems some shares were placed in 2007 at 300p. Ouch! No wonder the market/buyers were not too generous in the final take-out.

Restaurants have taste for takeovers

'''''''''''''That attraction was enough for a potential bidder to open informal take-over talks last month with GBK's owner, Clapham House. The likely suitor is Capricorn Ventures International, the Belgium-based owner of Nando's, which already holds a 27 per cent stake in GBK.

It's not just GBK that is attracting interest. While consolidation in the mining sector has dominated the headlines in recent weeks, the restaurant sector is also going through a spate of merger and acquisition activity.....

'''"Shares in Restaurant Group, which runs the Garfunkel's and Frankie & Benny's chains, jumped this week on rumours of bid interest. Meanwhile, Paramount, which owns the Livebait, Caffe Uno, Il Bertorelli and Chez Gerard brands, sold 11 sites to Prezzo this week and wants to sell 26 more. Bay Restaurants is said to be in a deal to sell its Ha-Ha Bar & Grill brand, while Lion Capital, the private equity owner of Wagamama, has asked Rothschild to find a buyer for the 104-venue chain...."

Why we and the CPH board should tell Capricorn (or whoever the potential bidder may be) where to go if they don't offer at least double the current share price ..

Mystery bidder circling Clapham House
By Pan Kwan Yuk and Rose Jacobs
Published: July 29 2010 21:04 | Last updated: July 29 2010 21:04
Shares in Clapham House surged nearly 20 per cent on Thursday after the owner of Gourmet Burger Kitchen said it had been approached by an unnamed suitor.

The group, which also owns The Real Greek restaurant chain, declined to comment on the identity of the suitor and cautioned there was no certainty that a formal offer would be made. But market speculation on Thursday night was that Capricorn Ventures Limited, Clapham House's largest shareholder with a 27 per cent stake, was behind the move.

Belgium-based Capricorn, which owns the UK operations of Nando's, has been a shareholder in Clapham House since late 2007, when it declared a 11.2 per cent stake in the business. Since then, it has progressively built up its shareholding, prompting widespread speculation that it might use the stake to launch a bid.

Talk of an impending offer has also been fuelled by Capricorn's decision to participate in Clapham House's £2.2m ($3.4m) share placing in May. The private equity group bought up almost half of the shares on offer, taking its stake from 24.9 per cent to 27.03 per cent.

A move for Clapham House now could not come at a more opportune time, according to industry watchers.

The group shed the Bombay Bicycle Club last year and put its struggling Tootsies restaurant chain into administration. It is now a much cleaner investment proposition for a bidder, with Gourmet Burger Kitchen the core driver of the group's growth.

Yet, having closed at 62p on Wednesday, the shares still remain 60 per cent below their level at the start of 2008.

James Dawson, an analyst with Charles Stanley, said an offer of 90p-95p was not implausible.

any thoughts on price and potential suitor? RTN perhaps or Capricorn taking it private?

If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire or control an interest in relevant securities of an offeree company or a paper offeror, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.



Opening Position Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company and by any offeror and Dealing Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company, by any offeror and by any persons acting in concert with any of them (see Rules 8.1, 8.2 and 8.4).

"Members of the public are not eligible to take part in the Cash Placing. The
Cash Placing is only being made to persons falling within articles 19, 43 or 49
of the FPO who are also qualified investors for the purposes of section 86 of
FSMA and no other person may participate in the Cash Placing or rely on any
communication relating to it."

Why can't any ordinary existing shareholders take part?

Think Placing Announcement could have been worded far better and more honestly to explain why all existing shareholders could not participate, i.e. need to quickly raise cash to meet good buying opportunities and to do so without costly Rights Issue.

Trading

The Company expects to report preliminary results for the year ending 28 March
2010 in line with the Board's expectations.

GBK has delivered a robust performance in the period, particularly given the
prevailing UK economic climate. During the financial year we opened two new GBK
restaurants, at Bluewater in Kent and at Clink Street London SE1. This brings
the total number of GBKs in the UK to 51, of which 29 are within Greater London.

Trading across the seven The Real Greek restaurants during the period has been
satisfactory, with the restaurants at Westfield, Bankside and Covent Garden
trading particularly well.
