I got out as soon as the 35p offer arrived and went into Argo Blockchain and increased X8. AA is a dog.

My list of undervalued shares that should recover (but are still risky) is: Saga, Capita, Centrica and Card Factory. All selected on the same basis that I chose AA.

my point - stop loosing your energy on the fight one can not win any more while there are better places&fights, recognize the behavioural pattern of the process which I did outline for further use

I am out of AA. stock but not out of AA. bid process. different animals

I am putting together a list of red flags (tricks) along the way for further use. and that could be amended by the others to be used in the future elsewhere

that is the point - to make a list of "how to recognize the pattern of modus operandi"

"Dropping for obvious reasons.. if the bid is rejected they are screwed."

Quit the scaremongering.

The deal is still likely to go through looking at how the share price is trading and the current position.

Even if the offer was rejected the BOD are hardly going to dive right into a massive rights issue with massive dilution if a 35p offer has just been rejected by shareholders.

The AA has always been a proposition post IPO that didn't offered meaningful top-line growth or earnings. Investing in AA has always been about slow debt pay off, dividend payments and a steady growth in equity value over a long period of time. Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded.

I'm not convinced the bonds that need refinancing are as bigger issue as being made out. I think they will be more expensive but still affordable.

The issue here IMO is down to the BOD having skewed incentives with respect to the expectations of the long-term shareholders. If they are all incentivised by earnings growth it is very difficult to achieve meaningful earnings growth (to them) with significant interest payments vs cashflow within a WBS structured as such. I think the board have taken this on believing otherwise and have found out that they aren't going to be able to achieve their objectives as easy as they thought.

Originally there was great hope in digital transformation and changes in underwriting but it hasn't been enough. Frustration is probably running through the BOD because their execution choices are limited and their remuneration packages somewhat constrained because of this. Of course, under the circumstances an offer is attractive to them. Not necessarily attractive to long-term holders who are happy with the stable mediocrity - that is if you bought into the AA on the understandings which you should have had which is: slow debt pay off, dividend payments and a steady growth in equity value over a long period of time.

Edit: just think of the CEO, he was used to Expedia type growth and then turns-up at the AA. Probably the wrong man for the job when you are looking for someone with an appreciation of mature industry.

AA PLC
07:33 25 Nov 2020
The AA accepts takeover offer from hedge fund pair
AA PLC (LON:AA.) said its directors have recommended a 35p-per-share cash
takeover by a pair of New York hedge funds.
As revealed earlier in the week, the takeover by TowerBrook Capital Partners
and Warburg Pincus International values the roadside assistance and
insurance group at £219mln.
While the offer is at a 40% premium to the 25p price the day before talks began
between the parties, the shares were 13% higher in August, were more than
70% higher in February and were 168% higher in March last year.
However, the AA's market valuation is dwarfed by debt that stood at £2.7bn at
the end of July.
TowerBrook, which is 'co-headquartered' in New York and London, and
Warburg Pincus believe the AA has an "iconic brand" and leading positions in
its markets but "has been held back as a result of underinvestment and high
levels of debt".
"The consortium believes that the AA needs committed, long-term owners to
support the growth of the business and to invest in critical areas such as IT
transformation which in turn, will generate new and better opportunities for
customers," it added in a statement.
The AA's insurance, financial services and driving schools are seen as areas of
potential growth by the hedge fund pair, which have promised to inject £380mln
of new equity into the company to reduce debt.
The hedge funds have received support from 15% of shareholders holding
roughly 15.5% of the shares so far, including directors.
John Leach, chair of the AA, said: "Having carefully considered the range of
options available to the AA including the terms of the proposed acquisition by
the consortium, the AA Board has concluded that the acquisition, which offers
certain cash value to the AA's shareholders as well as a significant equity
injection to reduce indebtedness, is in the best interests of the AA, its
shareholders and wider stakeholders, and as such is unanimously
recommending the acquisition to shareholders."
