Offer is now wholly unconditional. So awaiting 140p per share in the satchel in due course.

Yes, holders can sell above the offer price. Someone preparing to spoil CTI's party?

Difficult one, as CTI must have >30% by now?

It is 'dead money now'. I have no idea how many weeks it will be before the proceeds of the sale are received. Unless there is another bid, that is it. Some sell up and reinvest into other companies that my give a return far quicker - dividends or increase in the share price. In the very unlikely event that the bid fails, the share price will fall back.

Presumably, like many, when i checked and saw there were some 39 new messages this morning for WTM on ADVFN, on what is generally a very quiet thread, before clicking on it, immediately thought it could be only one of two things:


Takeover announcement at a modest premium to the share-price (would have been delighted with 115p - 120p)

or

A profit warning due to a downturn in UK business post the Brexit vote.


Even though i felt the market cap of the company represented excellent value, feared the odds were probably more skewed towards it being the latter rather than the former.

To secure an offer at a 83% premium to the existing share-price in the current industry climate is a remarkable achievement - once again well done to the Board.

Will be raising a good few glasses tonight in appreciation!

Considering the huge premium to the share-price, remarkable that news did not leak beforehand.

Very low volume in the week before this announcement.

Only two trades in 5 figures:

15000 buy - two days ago (well done!)

34600 sell - four days ago (ouch - a cool £22.5k left behind - been there done it, so know the feeling!)

Such is life !

Mattboxy. It may only be temporarily like that. Could only guess, but it's maybe the bidder (or agent for) mopping up shares at a price just below its takeover offer. Then, there's a normal market working alongside that, so the normal market maker might be bidding say 137p but you don't see that when you hit your sell button because the best price only is presented. The buy at 139.4p is the normal rsp buy price from a market maker. Stamp duty stops anyone benefitting from the difference.

I see there's a trade at 140p gone through for 2.5 million shares. That's maybe someone buying those aggregated sells of c. 139.5p?

Edit On further inspection, I see that Hargreave Hale agreed to sell 2,575,000 shares to CTI at 140p. So, that better explains the above mentioned 140p trade.

Fwiw, I'm still holding my Waterman shares. As others have said, there have been occasions when a higher bid has come along. However, CTI have commitments which will give them 26% of the equity, so realistically would anyone else come along?

Any suggestions for what to replace WTM with? Anything similar?

Hi Norbert – agreed, WTM could see a material dip in earnings over the next one to 2 years given its high operating leverage . That said, if the shares follow suit, then your projections of a trade buyer appearing would probably come true, thus putting a floor under price
