With Av. currently holding steady at around 457p, the value of the bid is just under 261p + any DLG dividend 'up to 5p'.
The current DLG price is a 6.25% discount to the total bid price.

Assuming the 5p is paid and that the deal completes by end of June 2025 then, in my view at least, I will likely keep most or all of my DLG for the 6.25% return in a max 6 month timeframe.

That said, I could cash out my DLG sooner and reinvest in AV to secure their possible c. 22p dividend declared in April, paid in May, which will likely be prior to the issue of new shares for DLG.

If my maths is right, a 22p dividend per Av. share at 457p is worth 12p per DLG share at 250p

You think so!!! The way the share price moves back for both DLG and AV tell me that 100% certain the deal is coming whether today or Monday - it doesn’t make damn difference to me .In fact it gave me an opportunity to accumulate more at £2.41 and average down the DLG Share price and I too today bought AV at £4.524 - otherwise these kind of share price cannot get at this moment in takeover time I am a gambling punter and I know what is a good odd - 😆 imo

I even bought Aviva at £452.4 ( just as an insurance ) - this price is a bargain to me .as DLG share price is range bound these last 2 days hooking around £2.41

Absolutely agreed . DLG share price starts the upwards ascend, just about 48 hours max before the good news and then is too late to add more

AV takeover of DLG will definitely pass CMA - Only a few days ago , CMA approved Vodaphone and Three merger and both these companies had 61% coverage of the mobile network. This deal to me is 99% sealed and done . imo .
Any fall in the DLG share price before the Aviva’s confirmation next week , is a golden opportunity to add.

The actual cash portion of £1.347 represents about 48% ( or about half ) of the AV offer value . This is an extremely good deal - only 10 days ago - DLG share price was £1.52 . I have bought earlier 35000 shares at £2.522 and hope to make a killing as opportunity never come often
I sold earlier last week after the 1st offer at £2.282 and now even 24p more than I sold I think is an opportunity not to be missed . 😃

AV CEO is testing the water as last week , she has sounded to DLG major shareholders of her intention but today after the weekend DLG Share Price drops back and this indicates the sounding was not 💡 so she needs either to shut up and walk away or up the offer to sway the DLG shareholders that she meant business . There is a saying STRIKE WHILE THE IRON IS HOT !!

Wba1 - don’t get carried away , the rug will soon be pull underneath from you and leave investors hanging in mid air .This sudden 70% increase of DLG Share Price before the announcement of Aviva takeover offer from £1.587 to £2.32 to me is based on the on one word ‘HOPE ‘ that Aviva would increase the offer . Already at the current price of £2.32 ( Ie all cash ) is better than the part cash and part share by
Aviva offer in my view .

Pal. : Aviva clearly states - it is targeting and convincing investors rather than DLG Board that the offer is decent and good, so DLG won’t go up unless a firmer second offer is on the card.
Now Aviva Board is pushing t
its own share price up to sweeten this deal rather than DLG share price - in fact Aviva wants DLG share price to drop rather to go up, imo

The DLG share price now, is only back to where it was in Jan 2023.

The problem is, if the "bid premium" evaporates then the DLG share price is heading South again.
