Terra Firma consortium increased their indicative conditional offer to 1126p a share, worth 1115p a share after accounting for a £105.9m break fee Alliance Boots has agreed with KKR/Pessina.

1300p anyone?

technet,
I also sold my spreadbet at 1042 early on but surprised that price has dropped to 1026!! Market must think no further offer forthcoming !

Yet another set of uninspiring numebrs from the incumbent management, with like-for-like sales in it UK retail division are expected to be around 1.6pc. With rivals achieving several multiples better than that figure, old Boots continues to fall further behind. Alliance Boots need new management to revitalise the business and generate strong growth.

Citigroup restates its sell on the back of the trading update, says consensus forecasts will go up around 2%. Broker says: 'We continue to believe that (deputy chairman Stefano) Pessina's presence means this must be taken seriously.

'The potential bid engages very substantially on future growth, synergies and profits trends that look to significantly better trends than the constituent businesses have achieved over the last 5-7 years.
'Accordingly we argue that investors should use the current market price as an opportunity to take profits a hedge against the possibility of no deal crystallising.'

Brian - looking at the price that must have been a working sell at 10.04 all day and yet the price still shot up and "really" finished at £10.31ish...hmmmm

Will any of you experts please help.

As an employee, I have 3 monthly payments to make to complete a s.a.y.e. contract & purchase alliance boots shares at the option price.

If the company is bought by a private equity company (before the end of the scheme end in June), am I right in thinking that I will not be able to buy these shares. In this case, presumably, I would only get my savings plus interest back & not benefit from the share price increase.

What a sickener . . somebody please tell me I'm wrong!

Conan,

I don't buy this argument that going private is "the right way to go". Why? What will management do as a private concern that they couldn't do for us as shareholders? If difficult decisions have to be taken which may impact on short-term profits but to the benefit of longer-term returns, then all management have to do is set out that strategy and sell it to shareholders. Frankly, it is all too apparent that the motivation of most MBO's is to seize an opportunity to buy something cheap and sell it back more expensively a few years later with the resulting profit accruing to former managers rather than shareholders. Fitness First, New Look, Monsoon etc., the list is endless. I came into AB. via Alliance Unichem and Stefano Pessina has always run the show as a personal feifdom - fine as long as his own interests were aligned with other shareholders - and the Boots takeover was absolutely his baby. I wouldn't be surprised if the current situation was all part of The Grand Plan from way back. I fear it's going to succeed because, if not, SP's position will be untenable in which case we both lose our Executive Chairman and have a disgruntled 15% shareholder. Whether that makes it "the right way to go" is open to debate IMHO.

Regards, Ian

Having taken over Alliance only last july,Boots is now subject to a takeover bid from KKR.

Apart from comments like the market has undervalued the shares, which seem true, its difficult to see what KKR etc would do with Boots to enhance market value if the takeover succeeded.

Obviously the bid talk has made the price jump as £10 per share seems to be on the table but after that ?

perhaps the more significant item is that KKR may now withdraw fron a bid for Sainsburys.

I wouldn't be surprised if Hutch had a look. Pessina a bit of a git for attempting to take group private. Not sure the city enamoured by his behaviour. Found this story saying there may be some hidden value at Boots above the mooted share price.

Hi,

As a stranger to Boots and Alliance Boots, could someone enlighten me as to the reason for the sudden massive share price drop about a year ago. Was this a genuine drop in share price or was it an artefact of the merger? If the latter, how can I correct prior prices to get a longer term comparison?

Thanks in advance.
