Looks like bye bye AAP @ 110p.

Well impressed with Autogrill on the speed of purchases and bid details.

Cash only involves CGT/CT for many, so will need to recompense for that, so I believe we look to the upper end of the range of premium to pre-disclosure share price That is pre the identity disclosure, not the first huge buy. As I said ante, 105p min. I think 125p max. I guess around 120p. The Benettons rarely fail to get their man.

But, nota bene, it was spun out of Forte for 140 pps over 13 years ago.

Thanks, Greg. That'll do me nicely ... care to expand on how you arrived at 126p? Anymore thoughts on this anyone? CN

[gregsc] 01/6/2007 14:01

126p probably

[charlie nolan] 01/6/2007 13:44

Any views on what price the cash offer? Rgds, CN

RPT Autogrill takes stake in Alpha Airports,mulling offer for entire firm UPDATE

(Repeating to replace 'raises' in headline with 'takes')

LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Italian fast food restaurant operator Autogrill SpA said it is considering buying the entire issued share capital of Alpha Airports Group PLC after acquiring 21,995,200 shares in the UK airport retailer and caterer at 95 pence each, giving it a 12.5 pct stake.

'Autogrill is currently reviewing its options including whether or not to make an offer for the entire issued and to-be-issued share capital of Alpha Airports,' it said in a statement.

'Autogrill's considerations are at a preliminary stage and there is no certainty any offer will be made. Any offer is likely to be solely in cash. A further announcement will be made when appropriate,' it added.

Autogrill manages about 4,000 restaurants, cafes and fast food outlets on motorways, motorway service stations, airports and stations.

As well as holding an operating licence for well-known and popular names such as Burger King, Pizza Hut and Starbucks, the group also trades under the self-owned name of Spizzico.

Alpha said in a statement that its board was consulting with its advisers and had not had any discussions with Autogrill about its future intentions.'The board will make a further announcement when appropriate,' the statement said.
Alpha said last week that it expects delays in opening airport stores in the Indian capital New Delhi and security issues in Sri Lanka to affect its full-year results, although its trading outlook elsewhere remained in line with its expectations.

At 2.33 pm, Alpha's shares had soared 22.5 pence, or more than 32 pct, to 92 pence.

I told you (#74 above) my sale at 70p would do the trick! You can all thank me later.

8-(

strong close at 93p ... nice ;O)

[esrimeur] 30/5/2007 14:24

abcd: No idea, but this has "recommended" stamped all over it to me; particularly given the Starbucks deal - Autogrill operate Starbucks in the US.

I'd expect 105p as a minimum price the board could recommend.

[eithin] 30/5/2007 14:20

+30% and also the divi. Good day.

[abcd1234] 30/5/2007 14:11

whats the chance of a counter bid/interest from other players??

[esrimeur] 30/5/2007 12:13

95p minimum if it occurs then. Odd share price reaction so far.

[balcony] 30/5/2007 12:11
