Thats what i thought

At 333p there has to be an easy 10%+ to be made on Misys in a very short time scale.

Either that, or someone else knows something I don't?

[mj19] 20/2/2012 15:23

333 now... why we losing steam, maybe too early...

[tom111] 20/2/2012 15:20

In the meantime ive nipped in for the ride

[mj19] 20/2/2012 15:05

agreed whats it playing at... get up there

[eaaxs06] 20/2/2012 14:52

It seems odd to me that the price is so reluctant to move higher, given that there are two prospective bids on the table (and possibly other in waiting).

As the latest 'approach' is talking about 360p a share, I'd have thought this would have pushed the share price up nicely in excess of that?

[ninja 19] 20/2/2012 14:29

360p and we have another 6% to go from here

[mj19] 20/2/2012 14:22

got to be more than this price 337

from the FT piece above:

"Other private equity companies are also understood to be considering a bid for Misys. "

nice ;o)

[abcd1234] 20/2/2012 13:11

If FID were to offer jus 15percent higher than that (420p) they'd win hands down

[targatarga] 20/2/2012 12:53

dins1249 - ft alpha may give a guestimate. Probably bet to look at previous estimates.... imho

[dins1249] 20/2/2012 12:47

Anyone have clues at what price the new approach?

[targatarga] 20/2/2012 12:11

[targatarga] 14/2/2012 17:05

Feb. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Misys Plc, the financial-software maker merging with Swiss competitor Temenos Group AG, has attracted interest from buyout firms and would consider alternatives to that deal if they're deemed better for shareholders, two people familiar with the matter said.

Misys hasn't solicited offers from potential acquirers, said the people, who declined to be identified because the deliberations are private. Suitors have until March 6 to declare interest in London-based Misys, according to a Feb. 7 statement announcing the all-stock deal with Temenos. Misys rose as much as 3.9 percent in London trading today.

An alternative bidder may threaten Misys's tie-up with Geneva-based Temenos, a deal that would create the largest vendor of banking software in the world. Misys agreed last week to the transaction, which would give its shareholders about 54 percent of the combined company.

Companies that sell financial software for businesses are proving attractive to private-equity firms as mounting banking regulations increase demand for up-to-date systems. In August Bain Capital agreed to buy a majority stake in MYOB Pty Ltd., an Australian provider of business software that had also attracted a bid from Sage Group Plc.

A spokesman for Misys declined to comment.

so fidelity reducing by 20 thousand shares.... Perhaps a signal

[mr.elbee] 08/2/2012 22:06

it is purely defensive in a declining market ,that's why.

[targatarga] 08/2/2012 13:15

mr market doesn't seem to like the arrangement...

[cool runnings] 08/2/2012 07:13

I would think they do...

[targatarga] 07/2/2012 22:29

Question now is does fidelity return?

[targatarga] 06/2/2012 12:44

considering these are main market noone seems interested. Very little in the weekend papers. Trending up nicely though.

[targatarga] 03/2/2012 14:23

looks like we may end up on the day... Press over the weekend....

[abcd1234] 03/2/2012 09:12

Temenos up over 9percent at the mo

[targatarga] 03/2/2012 08:42
