How does selling a small software business to a private equity company trigger competition concerns? Britain is a Red Tape nightmare. We are in a pandemic for God's sake! Business needs to be able to move and act decisively

what is going on now ? share price has been in freefall since Y/E figures, what are CPI doing about this ?

[dealy] 19/5/2021 08:13

Capita PLC - London-headquartered outsourcer - Is part of a merger investigation by the UK's Competition & Markets Authority looking into whether its deal with ParentPay Ltd and Montagu Private Equity LLP lessens competition.

Capita completed the sale of Education Software Solutions business in February to Tiger UK Bidco Ltd, established by funds advised by Montagu Private Equity Ltd, for GBP298.5 million. As part of the deal, an additional sum of GBP45 million was payable by Montagu to Capita following receipt of certain regulatory approvals in respect of Montagu's agreed investment in ParentPay (Holdings) Ltd.

Tiger UK Bidco is a new company established by funds advised by Montagu Private Equity LLP, the private equity firm with headquarters in London.

The London-based consulting, transformation and digital services business's ESS provides management information system software to the education sector.

The CMA is considering whether this transaction has resulted in the "creation of a relevant merger situation" and, if so, whether the creation of that situation may be expected to result in a "substantial lessening of competition". The CMA announces the launch of its merger inquiry on May 14 and has a deadline of July 12 for its phase one decision.

3 firms in Ftse 250 approachedby Private equity this week. Capita will be on the list as well.Trading on a EV/Sales ratio of 0.3 versus industry norm of 1 to 2. Upside of at least 3x

joto who are the "men in black" & how do they decided.

You have really led the way in slanging bean counters so may not be well placed to comprehend that "men in black" look at the numbers. Numbers.

The numbers count here. I wish you good luck & no detriment. Look at the P&L, it s not the MMs or a conspiracy its the chance of positive returns coming from operations.

Page 25 - Result before tax has to have the prospect of improving & not just through adjustments from the overall loss £(49)m & "adjusted" profit £65 on page 1. Check what the adjustments are & whether they will repeat in future.

They don't give a summary by division so you can see relative contributions by division against the central cost burden so do one yourself. Obviously you don't think there is value in counting beans so you won't be interested in what this business is likely to generate going forward or how to interpret announcements as they make them. Good luck! The men in black paid for predictable earnings from this outfit & numbers drew their support but don't concern yourself with that trust in the CEO.

Central cost outweigh operational profit and the BoD drive the problem further. The bad news is CPI does not have contribution from ESS in 2021 & not much to sell either but good news for joto & co is the Bod dilution of Mcap by another £3m in share options today.

Im a holder here and have been for a while, the share price has been very very dissapointing whilst most of the market has recovered greatly. Not sure why people compare this stock to the markets when it has not tracked it on the upside?? Just look at the DOW and FTSE, this goes down when markets are red but what about when markets are booming?? It gets frautrating to read the same stuff day in day out... no point being delusional. My biggest concern here is that eventually the BOOM in stocks will stop and turn to the downside and there will be a correction, and given that this has stalled whilst most others have boomed what will happen when the market goes into a correction/decline phase..
