"2450 from 2430, increased is how I read it"

unless i mised it they never made public the fact that they had reduced the offer to 2430 - feel free to correct me if that is wrong so many updates its easy to miss.

So as far as was officially announced previously we were expecting 2550 - preumably on wednesday thewy cam back and reduced that to 2430 and the board presumably didnt update - preumably if they are thinking they might not need to. a token 20p increase today - all seems slightly staged imho so they can say imporved offer when the offer is lower than we were led to believe yesterday.

Noote i could easily have missed something if that is teh case ignore my comments.

Either way for me i am still 100% happy with the revised price - look where the shareprice was before tthe bid came along and where it is now - factor in softer trading and i would expect price to drop like a stone if deal does not complete.

Obviously there is still uncertainty here - but hopefully deal slightly more likley than was the case yesterday.

Ref other bidders i have to presume if they were interested they may have stepped up before now - thats guesswork though and perhaps one can argue in absence of current bidder paying top dollar thats saying to others iif they want it they can have it for 2500p

for me i would just like this to complete pronto so i can move on - more sensible peeps than me would possibly sell now to be on the safe side if they arent happy with risk of holding back at 1560p price if this deal falls through?

Why would they drop out now? They are finalizing the docs now, and offered a revised price only a few days ago.

Is it likely another bidder may arrive?. I do not know the sector vey well so are there any trade buyers who might find KWS an interesting prospect? Approx.15% gain from todays price if original bidder confirms a bid at £25.50. I have added a few in the hope that it happens at £25.50 or better.

"He is buying shares while in possession of knowledge that the rest of us don’t have."

thats probably more factually incorrect than correct - or certainly a possibly misleading statement imho - or telling half truths


facts are he has probably made a prior undertaking to do exactly what he has done and made that undertaking before any potential sale was thought about - its probably on a come what may basis with regard to these transactions . He could easily have bought just before bad news was leaked as well as it going in his favour.

If his fixed choice was a effectively made and booked prior to any sniffle of company sale - imho its just pure luck that he has benefited - thats the blind deal you sign up for - i will buy at x date come what may. Practicably spekaing hios buy decision was made at that earlier point in time not now !


Heck the sale may drag on he may buy more at top dollar and the whole thing may fall through so he could end up paying top dollar and losing money.

In this regard he doesnt make the rules - presumably its reaosnably standard fair.

All i really cae about is that they have put a good deal on the table and shareholders have chance to exit at a decent premium to the recent shareprice.


Still lots of ifs and buts here


i do see where you are coming from donald pond but imho you and looking at things with the benfit of hindsight he probably did not have when he signed up for deal.

Note i suspect lots of these sketchy bids are made with no gurantees being offered and may be an excuse to look at te books of a company


ref XPP that may look slightly sketchy - however xpp had a fundraising in the offing that did the job of raisng the price to 1200p + with extra shares in issue. the received bids were only oracticably speaking probably 80% of the actual value made with the extra shares in issue. So really not much of a premium at all - and dep discount to 6 month average shareprice - bids were disclosed and clealry company have come back strong financially ! at the end of teh day by rebuffing these bids out of hand they have forced pootential buyer to come back and offer something close to a proper price.

I wouldnt disagree with a rule change to make things more transparent but facts are we are where we are in that regard.

trading 8% below the stated possible offer price of £25.50 - RNS suggests the bidder has been persistent but does market therefore think it won't happen at that price?

In a short word no

If we say 80% chnace of bid going through and we say share will be back to 160p if bids completely fails.

Then we should expect current shareprice to be say 2550 * 80% + 1600 * 20% = 2360 p

So the market is probbaly saying roughly 75-80% chance that bid will go through - discount simply facts in that the expected drop if it fails is likely to be larger than the extra one gets by holding on.

Note by calcs are very basic and one dimensional - there is probbaly some diccount for waiting time too i am not factoring in.

Note if you think shareprice wont end up at 1600p if this falls through simply replace 1600p in calcs above to get your own figures

I'm not a fan of short selling (using an investors shares against their interest), but I am not sure that there is massive short selling going on here. From the middle of last year to now the notifiable short positions have dropped significantly, although there have been a couple of up ticks recently. The whole games industry is in a tough spot after over investment after the pandemic. Layoffs and games cancellations (seemingly most weeks) mean less business for outsourced companies. The share price is pretty stable and I don't expect a massive movement either way. It has hit my buy price but I have decided to invest at the moment in MTRO and 888 as they are fundamentally mis-valued due to historic issues. I may come back to KWS later.

I wish someone could explain the price action to me. Lion Investment adding but lots of small automated trades managing to push the share price lower.

Video game production company Keywords Studios PLC (AIM:KWS, OTC:KYYWF) suffered a blow to its valuation in 2023 due to artificial intelligence (AI) fears and a weak industry backdrop, but Shore Capital Markets analysts see this as a buy opportunity for a profitable, market-leading company.Despite the 40% share markdown, Keywords posted above-market growth in organic revenues and earnings, while the acquisition of notable video game developer The Multiplayer Group in December provides "an excellent pipeline for 2024", reckon the analysts.Further adding to ShoreCap's investment thesis, Keywords is well leveraged with a €65 million (£56 million) net debt position, with EBITDA margins tipped for 20% in the current financial year.Industry trends are looking favourable for Keywords, with ShoreCap stating: "We continue to see the group as strategically placed, with market share opportunities and our assumption that, following mass layoffs in the industry, we could see an increased demand for outsourcing over the medium term."Furthermore, AI could actually represent an efficient driver for the group rather than an existential threat, the analysts said.ShoreCap sees a fair share price value of 1,800p, indicating a 19% upside against the current market price of 1,510p.

I have just done a search in google for KWS share price. It is showing 1348 down 26% on the day with a big move after hours. I can't see any trades at this level or any news so I am presuming it is a glitch. If it isn't I'll be buying in the morning. Anyone have any insight?
