Could we see an announcement on Monday, which would neatly tie in with the admission of the 224,718 share which are expected to become effective on Monday 22 November 2010. Or have they any more house keeping first.

Just idle speculation to be honest.

Does Standard Life have an IT outlet?

That article said talks had ben in progress for six months so it should be very near to a conclusion and I suspect the company wanted to sign up that major contract for £20m recently before getting very serious round the table with anyone.

Tieto: €970m market cap?

If Standard Life are the acquirer then I doubt we will see the best price, as they will be motivated more by streamlining their own internal systems than maximising the external potential for FSG's products, which are distinctly non-core to them.

Tieto could certainly afford FSG:

Could the bidder be TietoEnator? Focus signed a deal with them in March 2008 to provide software and development services including Focus360. Tieto are financial software house in Scandinavia (mainly Finland/Sweden) with a history of acquisitions - like Enator and Entra Data. it would make sense if Tieto have products that include some of Focus's software to just buy them out.

Unisys would certainly pay more than Standard Life, hopefully the Standard Life approach will flush out someone like Unisys who can seriously sell 360 through their global sales channels. Sure looks like bad news for an already struggling Mastek.

Standard Life want to merge 360 with threesixty :-)

Unisys looks the favourite to me imo.

The chairman is former Unisys, Unisys are customers, perfect fit, directors know each other well and the advisers being used suggest a big co imo.

CR - BLVN - Bowleven?

I bought another £3k FSG today. Small change for some of you guys I know but my sixth buy now.

We do not depend on Mastek for a bid or for overseas business in any event as they do not have an exclusive licence. The bidder is most likely to be a large software house or services company IMO.

CR,

Mastek are no great shakes of a company and I don't see them getting loads of foreign contracts for FSG. I think the overseas angle could be a lot slower to happen than anticipated.

Agreed, I'd rather there was no bid than for them to be taken out at under 2 quid personally.

Nah, punters are fast asleep imo - these are worth more than this price without a bid imo.

I'm reminded of my best ever bid jobby - BLVN - woke up the day after I bought them and they had a cash bid at 200% above the current price they said - was fabulous - even had the FSA call my broker to ask if they thought i could be an insisder trader :-).

I don't see how FSG can go for less than 180p minimum and at 180p I'd be very disappointed myself.

It'd be great if someone like Unisys came in with a counter bid, then it'd go for over 200p. Fingers crossed.

Simon

I tend to agree with your price now. Shame this approach is a little early, a few month's down the road with a contact or two from overseas, then we would have been looking at 200p plus. imo.

good find simon. Obviously SL preferable to Mastek - bigger pockets.

Thing to do is to keep adding FSG imo.

If Standard Life have been after FSG for 6 month's, then FSG management have shown strength resisting them upto that monster contact last month.

Bodes well.......

ic2,

It does look a done deal with all the smoke signals. Big question is what will be the price?

100p = 30m
150p = 45m
200p = 60m

My hunch is that it will not go for more than 50m = 166p. Probably between 150p and 170p.

If Money Marketing ar right and dicussions have been taking place for 6 months, then I would expect an offer announcement fairly soon.

It looks to me like FSG are preparing the groung now, with a little house keeping with reference to todays RNS, with the issie of shares and cash payment of GBP100,000, with the purchase of The Coaching Platform Limited completed on 22 December 2008.
