From today's City AM (following on from the Telegraph article):

CHAUCER'S share price was barely changed after the company reported a smaller-than-expected profit for 2010. For most investors, last year's results are old news: all anyone cares about is the impending bid.

Chaucer again said it had received a "number of takeover approaches" but was tight-lipped otherwise. But how much would a successful suitor have to pay?

Despite a lower combined ratio – the key measure of profitability for insurance firms – the same fundamentals that made the insurer so attractive to buyers still remain.

Firstly, the diversification of its underwriting exposure is extremely reassuring. In 2011, for example, rate increases of 10 per cent in energy and 14 per cent in UK motoring will offset a reduction of 10 per cent in US?property and a broadly flat picture elsewhere.

Second, its presence in Lloyd's offers a perfect entrance for a private equity or trade buyer. Thirdly, it is strongly capitalised, with economic capital of £435m, including a buffer of £60m.

For that reason, any buyer will likely have to pay a premium to its 2011 net tangible asset value, forecast at 54p by analysts at Shore Capital. A premium of around 20 per cent would likely be justifiable, meaning the magic number is around 65p. With the shares trading at 58.5p at yesterday's close, buyers could still make a tidy profit.

CHAUCER HOLDINGS PLC


New Lloyd's Managing Agency Approval


Chaucer Syndicates Limited (Chaucer Syndicates), the managing agency of Chaucer
Holdings PLC, is pleased to announce that Antares Managing Agency Limited has
received approval from Lloyd's and the FSA to manage Lloyd's Syndicate 1274,
which was launched under the management of Chaucer Syndicates in 2008.


In addition to having provided syndicate management, the Chaucer Group continues
to support Syndicate 1274 through an investment in Antares Holdings Limited, a
Bermudian-based holding company established by a specialist insurance industry
investor group to provide capital to the syndicate.


The Turnkey Solutions team at Chaucer Syndicates, has worked closely with
Antares during the past 15 months to help it to develop the Antares Managing
Agency and to gain regulatory approval. Management of the syndicate has now
transferred to the Antares Managing Agency from Chaucer Syndicates.


Chaucer Syndicates provides a practical solution for investors seeking a Lloyd's
presence without incurring the additional costs of a standalone managing agency,
helping investors develop their routes to Lloyd's, providing syndicate launch
support and on-going management.

Commenting on behalf of Chaucer Syndicates Limited, Janet Helson, Director,
Third Party Syndicates said:


"I would like to congratulate Antares on receiving approval from Lloyd's and the
FSA for its new managing agency and wish them and Syndicate 1274 good luck for
the future."


Stephen Redmond, Managing Director, Antares said:


"I would like to thank Chaucer for helping us to develop our managing agency and
to gain regulatory approval. I also wish to thank them for the continued support
they have shown us since the launch of Antares Syndicate 1274 in 2008."

Back page of the Sunday times says the Martin Gilbert (Chairman) had struck a deal to sell 29% stake in last few days. If true, cant blame big investors wanting sector exposure to a company at 25% discount to NAV, profitable in a sector with favourable dynamics over next 12-18 months. Just a shame the management were diverted for a long period. Still good for longer term investors.
