You would have thought they would have snapped up the company.

[gac141] 17/8/2012 11:12

Exactly right- EC-Sil is the next generation coating and this is what ST Jude need but may not hold in perpetuity. This could be the Achilles heel. But also make it very important to buy!

[tadders2] 17/8/2012 11:04

Yes....thanks. Good explanation.

[harrogate] 17/8/2012 10:34

Thanks ..that is a great explanation for a layman to follow. Does sound as if the AOR family of materials are very important to StJ

This looks like even more reliance on Durata.

Here's the link to today's Wall Street Journal article on STJ


Any thoughts on how this might influence things?

More bad news over here for STJ- Riata review. Durata ok. Time to buy this business and check things down.

Shaping up for a fight?

[day7rader] 15/8/2012 09:23

ok thanks...

Ha no bought in years ago :( anyway I would have to disclose if I had under rules of takeover panel.

For the regulars on this board.. the press are trying to understand how significant the 5 interested parties are that have approached the company. My guess is they are big names.

What is it gac141?? Bought in last week...

[1prophet] 14/8/2012 23:57

Indeed the US Journals has started to get this one.

[gac141] 14/8/2012 18:12

Had some contact from US Press.

market quote 180-190. on-line; 180.1p to sell, 181.9p to buy!! (only 500...) ...so expect share price to slip back some more....

[kampongman] 13/8/2012 16:58

Mightily relieved to get this progress update!

[1400] 13/8/2012 16:07

Somebody tell that 18%er to hold his water.

[zaksab] 13/8/2012 15:57

About time the board played a blinder...

[1prophet] 13/8/2012 15:55

You have it there buddy.

[papillon88] 13/8/2012 15:49

I take it the 11 parties will also have only found out today that there is 11 of them interested.

Perhaps the BoD have played an absolute blinder here. I imagine there was dialogue between STJM and AOR and the suggestion that it would naturally make sense for STJM to bid.
STJM have not been forthcoming and AOR board have got tired of waiting and put it out to tender.
Which may now be costly for STJM if there is a bidding war.

[zaksab] 13/8/2012 15:19

£20k buyer seems keen.

[1prophet] 13/8/2012 15:03

If you get multiple guys involved skies the limit. This Co has attracted some big names. If they fight for it the numbers could get crazy.

Any forecasts? In your original post on this thread you talked of £15. How close will we come to that?
