Found some info:

"When a takeover bid or scheme is announced, things can move quickly. The price offered may increase, or the period for accepting the takeover bid may be extended.
The share price can be a good indicator of whether the market thinks the bid or scheme will succeed. Generally, when the bid or scheme is first announced, the price of shares in the company rises to around the level of the offer price. If the market expects a better offer to emerge, share prices can sometimes be higher than the offer price. On the other hand, if the market thinks the offer is unlikely to succeed, the share price may be less than the offer price".

I think the BOD realise that the institutions will accept a low offer without 'rocking the boat'. On the other hand it could be worth 'kicking up a stink' in order to impress the boss.

Perhaps the BOD, who clearly want a sale at any price, circulated all companies rumoured to "have any interest in buying AIE" to ask them to make an offer. Then only Keystone Cops came up with anything at the auction, and, as the reserve price was the existing share price, their offer was accepted!

It is a very low offer, but if you are very keen to sell you accept low offers. If you are not keen to sell you send someone who makes an unsolicited, low offer packing with a flea in his ear.

I was confident of a higher offer, but am beginning to have doubts. Pity this is not getting more publicity.

As I understand it the options bestow the right to buy a specific number of shares at a specific price by a specific date. After that date the right expires. Sometimes there is a start date in the future as well as an expiry date. The value at which the options vest is generally higher than the price prevailing at the time of grant but as these may have to be held for a number of years before becoming exercisable, generally there is profit to be made if the share price has risen above the exercise price. The company can either buy back shares as treasury shares (with company money) or issue new shares which of course is dilutive to existing shareholders which includes those exercising the options if they are already shareholders. There is usually a clause that says that in the event of a takeover the options will exercise immediately.

Taking pico's info on the options held by Messres. Humphrey and Amos we arrive at £15.25m worth of shares (12.1m shares) added to the total number of shares in issue and I believe there are other options waiting to cashed in. Are they going to buy these shares in using cash held, or just create them. Either way I guess we lose. How many shares are currently held in treasury I wonder - if any?

The main question is what happens to the cash held on the balance sheet. We need an answer.

mbmiah - hello
The IC had a 2 page analysis by one of their top guys a couple of weeks ago. He mentioned some big names including Rhode & Schwarz as interested parties. They are a German test & measurement company.
Also the Motley Fool did a story which included SPT as one of a likely threesome to double in price. Hence that would pull in interested parties.
Other than that the AIE price is looking very bullish with plenty of bulls around.
Looks like the long term shareholders need the BOD to filter out the 'rubbish' predators. Hopefully AIE can continue as an independent company but we have to question whether this bull run is set to continue in the market in general. Have we had seven years on the trot in the past, probably not.
A good run for AIE up to the AGM is necessary & in the weeks following re their share price
R & S is a Family run business which is a bit odd nowadays, but it seems to be 100% German.p

Gerd - hello
I know what you mean, I do not put links on myself but there is a way to stop ADVFN taking you to other sites. Press the green spot & login & then you should be able read the thread without any hassle. Do not under any circumstances press the red spot or you will be ejected 50 feet into the air - LOL.
ADVFN provide really good accurate info in their free section should you need to transfer company figures & ratios to a spreadsheet. Needed for fundamental analysis but not all punters trade on FA, only TA.

Lot of stuff floating around concerning M & A and the two test companies - AIE & SPT.
This is why it is important for the market mechanics to correct the share price to a price nearer to where it should be.
In the case of AIE the market will correct prior to the AGM on 01/07/2015. I anticipate a further jump during that first week of July.
I would personally prefer the company to stay as a Small Cap but the long term shareholders need the share price to be at sensible levels before any M & A scenarios materialise, hopefully they will not.

I know where you are coming from werty5.
At least we know sentiment has finally changed which is the important thing. The shares are still very cheap so a run up to 150p would seem reasonable (based on a forward P/E). We also need a decent price to be established by 01/07/2015 in case ST ( of IC ) is right about his M & A theories. That would be the decent time to start any negotiations & not before.
When we look at the share price two years ago & compare to the FTSE ( now that the markets have completed consolidation) we should be at 'x' pence (I dare not put a price in as it tempt's fate).
The fact is we have a long way to go to catch up in view of this company's fundamentals now. Not that fundamentals count for much with the way punters trade nowadays ( the exception being Warren B ).
Neither is there anything wrong with the way people trade using TA, it does at least complete within weeks rather than years (LOL).
A lull would seem to be on the cards (perhaps two days) but we need to make up the ground within a month, just in case the ST scenario takes effect. I have not held for many years for a predator to capitalise on an undervalued share price
Hopefully, AIE will remain a small cap. They have shown the industry that they are the best in their field of expertise, thanks to their BOD.
Other than that I am a very happy investor - blue skies at last.
Should anything happen to AIE, I will definitely be using TA tools in the future when dealing with other companies in a portfolio.

Volume increasing today. Like Blackjack that lull is a coming (LOL).
Just noticed that the MM's have dropped the price to get the sellers in so that they can get stock (MM's)
They probably think it's a good time for a lull as well & to consolidate before pushing on.
Wonder if we will get a red candlestick or doji today after the UT closing auction.

Green again today 104.75p. We don't mind green, but red ( once or twice ) makes the chart look normal - until we take off again (LOL).
Oh no, it's the Grexit - someone get the tarot cards out. The Greeks have wanted this for months !!
There is a trader who stands to make $21 mill if the S&P closes below $ 208.65 on Friday's close, he knows !

Looked like a tree shake but turned out to be a drop in the share price to equal out buys & sells.
TBH although AIE is my best share ( on merit ), my holdings change on a weekly basis.
Tatsfield hit the spot regarding the share price
The share price looks 'ripe' for that bounce now.

FWIW, for anyway wanting to buy in, now might just be the right time.DYOR

All the good news in the world has never had very much positive effect on Anite's share price Having been with the share since the £3 days and through the 14p days, I'd still show a healthy profit if I sold today. However, I really believe the company is special and should be seen as such in the market but they have the stage presence of "The Invisible Man"; if you know what they are doing, they look awesome but if you're the average investor who doesn't, you won't even notice them. Their only chance for increasing the share price is to predict immense profits and back it up with a huge dividend! Otherwise it's a penny here and a penny there on the share price with mountain high sticking points based more on numerological superstition and the significance of round numbers rather than company activity.

Nothing in the IC?
Well I did a Google search & there was a mention of Anite (that I assumed) dated 13/02/2015.
Unfortunately I cannot get the mag where I live.

Shares News & Analysis - Investors Chronicle
www.investorschronicle.co.uk/shares/news-and-analysis/
13 February 2015. Moira O'Neill and the IC companies team pick the funds and dividend-paying shares that will help you survive a low growth, low interest rate.

- that was under Anite, so perhaps the search result excluded AIE.............

...........not done on purpose, IC must be living up to their chronic reputation.................LOL

Plenty more buys than sells again today.
What I forgot yesterday was that for every buy there is a sell.
However, presumably they will run out of sellers selling at these prices & with volume staying healthy (assumed) there will be a rise in the share price
rathlindri............... I assume you are waiting for a price fall to buy in again, just a guess ?

My take on the situation is that sometimes a price change suddenly occurs for no apparent reason, in both directions. I remember a drop of about 15p from 95 to 80 without any catalyst, it just happened.
With all these 'buys' going through, makes you wonder how the share price can remain under 90p.
The MM's love walking SPT up on tiny volumes, quite often with negative trades & then let it drop the next day.

I am not a clairvoyant , just trying to read the market.
