That would be nice , bring on the bidding war . You would think the buy orders would be at a higher price if another party wanted to acquire a blocking stake . Good luck all , either way : )

US bidders in fight for control of Whatman
By Lina Saigol in London

Published: January 15 2008 02:00 | Last updated: January 15 2008 02:00

Four US bidders, including General Electric, and Danaher, are vying to win control of Whatman, the laboratory equipment company that provides DNA technology to the police.

Whatman, which has appointed Goldman Sachs to run the sale process, held the second round of the auction last week.

A preferred suitor could be chosen by the end of the month.

Parker Hannifin, the US group which owns a lifesciences unit, and Millipore, the multinational bioscience company that provides technologies and services for the discovery, development and production of therapeutic drugs, are also bidding for the UK company.

The auction could see Whatman, which employs 700 in the UK and six other countries, valued at more than £300m ($586m).

The process comes three months after Kieran Murphy, its chief executive, announced a restructuring of the business, following the completion of a strategic review.

At the same time, the three largest shareholders of Whatman - JO Hambro, Schroders and Hermes - asked the board to consider any offers for the company.

Yesterday, Whatman, which declined to comment on the bids, forecast that its full-year revenues would match 2006's total of £116m, at constant exchange rates.

In a trading statement the company said that its order book at the end of December stood at £16m, an increase of 44 per cent compared with 2006.

Whatman also said that it had met the conditions of its share buyback, which is due to begin in March, and that the restructuring announced in September by Mr Murphy was on target to meet its operational milestones.

As part of Mr Murphy's restructuring, the company said it would buy back shares, restructure its manufacturing base and shift part of its operations to China.

Other initiatives included closing at least one of its facilities in a bid to streamline manufacturing, and increasing research and development investment in its core business from 3 per cent to 5 per cent in particular membrane technologies.

Bob Thian, who has been chairman of Whatman since 2002, announced that he would resign from the board this May. His son-in-law, Richard Campbell-Breeden, is a banker at Goldman Sachs but has stepped aside from the process.

The 2 year graph indicates that the WHM share price is quite volatile with recent intraday movements of 5+% being the norm.

In view of this I may alter my strategy & deal on a shorter time frame rather than remain a long term holder. However, the spread is typically wide allowing good margins for our MM friends but makes it less advantageous for the smaller investor.

I want to see a further bounce from here!
