Circular expected within 28 days of the announcement of the Mitsui offer - I make that next Tuesday (6th October).

Anyone have any idea on the timescales for the proposed takeover yet? AFAICS we are still waiting for release of a shareholder circular in relation to the takeover which was announced on 8/9.

Mitsui Sumitomo £3.5bn offer for Amlin could lead to a ‘feeding frenzy’ for non-life insurers -

Well how nice ! Just going to wait for my divi and the loot........give me time to ferret out another winner .

[speedsgh] 08/9/2015 14:01

Competing bid unlikely imo. Reckon it's a done deal.

EDIT - Would love to be proved wrong though!

post 423 for me

;-)

[spob] 08/9/2015 13:47

Looking back at previous posts

I rather like 407 ;-)

Any chance of a competing bid?

[hooley] 08/9/2015 13:35

As I noted in 389 on the 23rd April, this coy is over capitalised and hence the bid. I took a fat divi then. I didn't expect the Japs to take the bait!

[rcturner2] 08/9/2015 10:59

I also hold KCOM.

[rcturner2] 08/9/2015 10:58

no problem

I have used this website for a few years now:

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll take a look.

[rcturner2] 08/9/2015 10:04

tomrob, similar problem

so many income plays have been taken out

i quite like PHNX, think they may get taken out too eventually

[tomrob] 08/9/2015 10:03

How am I supposed to build an income portfolio for my wife's ISA?
First Catlin now Amlin?
She's thanking me for the capital appreciation but that wasn't the idea.

GJ2, I don't know - goodness knows it's early days yet - but you'd think any competent advisers would make sure a loan note alternative was on offer.

[rcturner2] 08/9/2015 09:25

Happy days, everyone's a winner.

[gj2] 08/9/2015 09:24

Are they offering loan notes ? Can't find any mention in the RNS when using a text search. Is it still normal practice to offer this as an alternative to immediate cash ?

[speedsgh] 08/9/2015 08:42

Hehe :o) Another core member of the income portfolio gets taken out but at least at a decent premium. All we need now is a decent pullback over the next month or two to provide a good entry point for reinvestment elsewhere.

[grahamite2] 08/9/2015 08:41

In these cases the price often goes well above the offer price, on the assumption the first offer won't be the last.

[deadly] 08/9/2015 08:37

Clearly someone thought the results were better than so-so!


Insurers seem to be a rich vein, with CGL going and also RSA.
So many of them are on good yields.

36% premium to last close

hello

[brancho] 08/9/2015 07:24

Any ideas at what they are likely to come in at?
