Shires Income Takeover Rumours (SHRS)

Always seems to be lots of 1100 SETs trades going through on a daily basis. I thought they were buy backs for a short time but obviously not. Some institution is surely picking them up, and I can see a takeover or merger coming soon. Although it would be good, due to mergers etc, I am starting to run out of good quality stocks with a reliable decent yield . Any good suggestions would be would be appreciated, probably I would imagine for the majority of people on this BB

Two too small trusts merge and all the benefits go to ASCI but SHRS is still too small not least because many ASCI ran for the hills. What is the board doing to close the discount? Can’t see that this trust has a future especially if parent Abrdn is taken over and broken up. Takeover by MUT?
